I might point out that the only way pleconaril will ever be able to effectively compete with OTC medicines like zicam is if IT becomes approved for OTC sales.

My point to someone else who asked if it weren't a competitor to Zicam...

it will be a prescription drug that will be used for patients who suffer severe viral symptoms such as meningitis.

The study on viral meningitis were disappointing and are not likely to even be approved...or may not even be continued....

Even if VPHM tried to get Dr's to prescribe it for people with an average cold, how many people would bother (especially if they didn't have prescription coverage)?

Especially if it only offers "3 days" of relief...according to the study...

If you folks are looking for a stock that is overpriced you may want to take a closer look at this one. If the NEJM article on ZICAM is released soon, can you imagine what that would do to this stock?...
