Vaigra Soft?!!

No, I did not make this one up. This is a generic version of Viagra in a soft tab form. Apparently these were designed for those who can’t get it up or swallow. (I know, cheap shot, but admit that was funny).

I received an email today with a ridiculous subject line: ‘Look for my cell around’ from a sender named Chauncey. Under the headline ‘80% Discount’ with a Canadian Pharmacy banner was a row of pills:

Viagra, Cialis, Levitra,Tamiflu (apparently the swiney is as hot as erectile dysfunction these days), Viagra Soft and Cialis Soft.

Um, BRANDING rules folks! Viagra and Cialis S-O-F-T. I think we have a little problem with messaging here. I do a ton of work in Pharma, we change things day in and day out. How the hell did this one come to pass? (again, no pun intended).

    I don’t think mushy tabs would of been much better.

    HA! Thanks for the laugh for today. Rx drug ads are totally lost on me. Here’s one…I never understood the decision to advertise Herpacin (or any other herpes..or genital warts med) on TV. Who wants to be sitting next to their partner of whatever sort and see one of those pop up…just to say “hey…I could use some of that”. BLLLEEEHHH
