webfact Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thai version of 'Viagra' to be launched next month Poungchompoo Prasert The Nation BANGKOK: -- The Government Pharmaceutical Organisation will launch its erectile dysfunction drug "Sidagra" on October 15 at a fraction of the price of Viagra. The treatment for the men's disorder has already been registered with the Food and Drug Administration. Viagra sells for about Bt200 per tablet but Sidagra will cost only Bt25 per 50-milligram tablet and Bt45 per 100mg dose, Dr Witit Artavatkul, managing director of the GPO, said yesterday. Sales of the inexpensive product would help stem the outbreak of fake medicine, give hope to people with no access to expensive remedies and address the growing needs of the ageing society, he said. This drug would be popular, he said. The GPO has also improved and expanded its facilities to meet the PICS standard and raise capacity to five billion tablets in preparation for the Asean Economic Community. The state enterprise under the Public Health Ministry was eyeing the market for diabetes, high-blood pressure and HIV/Aids medications in Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaysia. Pornthep Siriwanarangsan, director-general of the Disease Control Department, also warned the public about dengue fever during this rainy season, as 38,500 cases and 42 deaths have already been reported from January 1-September 4. Last week alone, five people died from this disease, he said. -- The Nation 2012-09-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ratcatcher Posted September 6, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2012 No doubt P.M.Yingluck will call for a general erection. That will be pretty hard-on the Democrats. BTW I believe the correct name of the new version is "Silagra" possibly from it's containing sildenafil? 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post noitom Posted September 6, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2012 "The Thai version." Stay away, run as fast as you can, faster if possible. Anything prefaced with "the Thai version" is also a euphemism for "at your own substantial risk." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I would think the way the government treats the people they would not need any more of it. I guess the cost, got so high they had two come up with a cheaper version. I would imagine they will have two manufacturing plants to keep up with the demand. One for sale to the general public and one to help them keep on hosing the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zakk9 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 In a country where rape is a crime so common that it's hardly ever noticed and not often punished, this seems like a strange priority, unless it is to boost sex tourism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattayadingo Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Out in one of my favourite bars last night. Instead of people wanting to take my photo, sell me flowers and innumerable trinkets, for the first time ever I was offered some little blue diamond shaped pills. All carried in a small box with a lid. On enquiring about the price I hear 500 Baht for 4. That is a big mark-up on the 80 Baht for 4 you can buy them for over the border. This new Thai version is going to put a huge dent in their profits that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps political-leaders may now find it easier to become hardened-criminals, even better at cock-ups, and those in the legal-profession may hand-out stiffer sentences, in future ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdod Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I seem to remember hearing on here a few months ago that sales of viagra to farang were being banned asa it wasn't good for our health. It was quite obviously not concern for our general well being after all then hahahaha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with the Thai made low cost product is that the Crooks (cops included) will lose their income LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least half of the sex tourists in Thailand are in their 20s, have washboard abs, and could kick the shit out of an old fart like you with one hand tied behind their back. Deal with it. As a more astute observation, how fitting that the horniest nation on earth would develop their own brand of Viagra, haha (and I'm not talking about the foreigners, or even just the Thai males...!!)

spidermike007 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Forget viagra, cialis, cumagra, and all that toxic junk. Have you tried bali mojo, or mojo risen? Bali Mojo is available online, here in Thailand. Costs about 100 baht per capsule, which lasts 2 days, with zero side effects, and no damage to the kidneys and liver. All herbal. I love the stuff. Many of my friends use it, and never go back to the pharmaceutical junk. Much easier on the body. And super effective. Let's say no to Big Pharma. What have they done for us lately? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
