The actelion drug swept the vote 10-0, how does it compare with the uthr drug? If both are approved, which is the winner in your opinion?

There was an article recently in the Boston Globe about sildenafil and PPH and a group of physicians urging pfizer to sponsor a trial. Anectdotes are building that sildenafil may be a breakthrough drug for PPH. Since sildenafil is an already approved product, I'd be mindful of this when gauging the uthr drug's market potential.

NEJM article from last year.....
