Viagra encounters challenge

Article Abstract:

Pfizer Inc., the maker of the anti-impotence tablet Viagra, is facing challenges from traditional herbalists in Asia, who claim that their herbal preparations are more effective and costs less. Although the popular aphrodisiacs such as tiger penis and rhinoceros horn have been prohibited, other aphrodisiacs have emerged, such as deer's tail in rice wine and leech oil made from actual leech. One herbalist say his preparations are better than Viagra because the latter is risky. Another herbalist said that Viagra is not appropriate for Asian men, who are not as long as Western men.
