In pharmacology, all drugs have two names....
In pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and a generic name. For example, Tylenol also has a generic name of acetaminophen. Aleve is also called naproxen. Amoxil is also called amoxicillin and Advil is called ibuprofen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, its recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of mycoxafloppin.

Also considered were mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, dixafix, and of course ibepokin. Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails - highballs", and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink." Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: "Mount & Do."

Though a point of accuracy: They have three names...generic, trade and chemical.
