Health trends - Bayer launches men's health care
Bayer Schering Pharma recently launched its new franchise, 'Men's Health care' or MHC, at the Terra Nova Hotel in Kingston. The evening's proceedings reflected the company's commitment to improve male well-being through the products Levitra and Nebido.

"The MHC franchise offers health-care professionals the first evidence-based approach to successfully treat patients with erectile dysfunction and/or testosterone deficiency syndrome (androgen deficiency in adult male - ADAM), even those with underlying medical conditions", stated Piroska De Jesus, regional MHC franchise manager.

Dr Farid Saad, head of scientific affairs of Bayer Schering Pharma in Germany, addressed the relationship between testosterone deficiency and metabolic syndrome. Based on clinical studies, these conditions are closely related and seriously affect the quality of life of the adult male. Currently, the new MHC franchise embraces two products: Levitra, the treatment for erectile dysfunction with the fastest onset of action and superior side effects profile; and Nebido, the first quarterly testosterone injection that improves sexual function, muscle strength, libido and mood, which are conditions associated with ADAM.
