>>Does anyone know if Pfizer can meet demand?

- I know it took Vivus about a year until it could ramp up production.

- If the demand for Viagra is 1 mill pills per week; can they produce that many?<<

Shouldn't be a problem producing the pills. The raw materials are all chemical, and chemicals are normally available in abundance. And it should take no time at all for the robotic machinery to produce 24 hours a day if necessary. In short, I don't think demand will be limited by production.
