Question for any of the doctors out there. After watching 20/20, I heard again the statement that Viagra is 60 to 70% effective for ED cases that are physical in origin. IN the past, and even from Leland's mouth, I used to hear that Viagra would not likely be effective in moderate to severe cases of ED. Is this 60-70% number now likely? Nobody expected this kind of success rate for physical cases, did they?

If so, my question is this: What are the chances that the 60-70% group within the test population is the same group that responds to MUSE? Is there any reason to believe that the two drugs work on distinctly different groups or classes of ED within the test population?

Significant overlap of the responsive groups spell the end (or perpetual coma)for VVUS.I hope that the VIAGRA bell curve is not our bell curve or the bell tolls for us.
