Erectile Dysfunction drugs most popular in online price searches

February 3, 2023 By Leo Blanco

pharmacy.jpg PharmacyChecker.com, a leading Web site helping consumers continually find the lowest priced products from the most qualified and reputable online pharmacies, has analyzed hundreds of thousands of online searches for drug prices and found that drugs for erectile dysfunction (ED) were among those most often checked.

“The amazing popularity of the ED drugs in online searches is probably driven by a combination of factors. First, these are among the most expensive pills to buy – about $10 to $16 each – but are often not covered by insurance, so it’s very worthwhile to price-comparison shop. Second, the anonymity offered by the web spares the embarrassment some men feel going into their local pharmacy to check prices and purchase ED products,” said harmacyChecker.com’s president, Tod Cooperman, MD.

In fact, all three major ED drugs, Viagra (Pfizer), Cialis (Lilly), and Levitra (GSK/Bayer), ranked in the top 10 out of nearly 9,000 medications for which consumers searched.

After drugs for erectile dysfunction, cholesterol-lowering products were the most searched drugs, with Lipitor leading the group as it has since 2004.

Some of the biggest changes in search popularity since last year were seen with Levitra, which moved to 8th position from 26th, Propecia (Merck) a hair- growth drug, which moved up to 7th position from 16th, and Lexapro (Forrest), which moved from 15th to 10th to became the most searched for anti-depressant, replacing Zoloft (Pfizer) which was ranked 6th last year and is now 13th. No generic drug made the top 10, but fluoxetine (the generic form of Prozac) was number 12.

Mazda launches online shopping assistant

February 3, 2023 By Leo Blanco Leave a Comment

mazda.jpg Designed to make the vehicle purchase easier and faster, Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) has launched Mazda Shopping Assistant (MSA) program, the first in the industry to provide potential buyers with an actual quote from the customer’s choice of dealer of the vehicle they’ve chosen, as opposed to other manufacturers’ programs that simply offer the manufacturer’s suggested
retail price (MSRP).

The company believes the MSA program will be a huge hit among its youthful demographic, the second-youngest in the industry.

The MSA program accelerates the purchase process by streamlining three of the steps involved when buying a vehicle — model selection, price and financing. It connects consumers with Mazda Personal Shoppers who can answer specific product questions and provide personalized shopping experiences through live Web-chat sessions. Through the help of these in-house Mazda employees, buyers can configure a vehicle, select a dealership, search vehicle inventory, acquire an actual dealer quote, schedule a sales appointment and get information about financing for the Mazda vehicle of their dreams.

“On average, a typical car buyer spends four hours at most dealerships buying a new car. In a day and age when every hour counts in our busy schedules, we believe the new MSA program is
the perfect tool to help Mazda customers spend less time shopping and more time driving,” says Mike Ray, director, Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty, MNAO.

Online gaming behavior measured for the first time

February 3, 2023 By Leo Blanco Leave a Comment

harvard.jpgFor the first time in our history, Harvard Medical School faculty from the Division on Addictions in partnership with sports-betting site, bwin, has examined online gaming by carefully studying the actual online behavior of players. In an anonymous study, researchers observed the actual behavior of more than 40,000 active bwin users for a period of eight months. This ground-breaking report is now available at the library of Division on Addictions.

To date, only speculations have been available to guide our understanding of the scale of gaming and problematic gaming behavior among online sports betting.

Initial results from the long-term study indicate that the potential of sports betting to cause a problem is considerably lower than generally presumed.

“This is a landmark project for both the gaming industry and science because we are studying the actual gambling behavior of a large sample of Internet gamblers for the very first time. I am proud of bwin for committing to using science as a guide to assuring the welfare of their customers and to advancing the safety of the Internet and new technology,” said Dr. Howard Shaffer of Harvard Medical School.
