Japan. However, recently the government has given the green
light for their sale and use. Condoms are widely used in Japan

The latest figures on the cost of bringing a new drug to market
is $750 million (Cdn). It can take from 12 to 15 years to get
the drug released after all the animal and human trials have

There are three herbal medicines that have some valid evi-
dence of effectiveness. These are Ginkgo biloba, Saw palmet-
to and St. John's Wort. Although there are limitations on the
evidence of efficacy, they do have some benefits in treating
