<<<- Are we overestimating the market for Pennsaid?>>>

There is that marketing experiment going on in the UK right now,...how is that going?

Other questions to consider about the marketing experiment in the UK,....

As Pennsaid is a prescription drug,...have all the doctors been sufficiently informed? Is there any advertising to try and stimulate patient trial and awareness? Are the advantages over other pain killers clearly understood and appreciated by doctors and potential patients? Why would any doctor with a conscience prescribe all the other terrible pills to their patients knowing what it will do to their stomachs, livers etc., and given there is such a wonderful safe and more effective alternative to prescribe? If the doctors don't know yet, why not?

Does the average patient (and Doctor) who know of Pennsaid feel there is,....

Increased effectiveness over competitors?
Ease of use?
No side effects?
No drawbacks to use,...particularly over the alternatives?
Simplicity of use?
Doesn't take much time or effort to apply?
Quick relief of pain?
Long lasting relief?
Simple instructions for use?

If the big companies feel there is a big buck to be made in marketing and selling this drug, why aren't they lining up outside Becky's door? Why did she go with a small drug marketing company and choose to manufacture the drug herself?

If a simple molecule like DMSO could drag medicinal molecules through the tough to penetrate epidermal layer of the skin and get through a membrane of a cell (underlying the epidermal layer) having the intra and intercellular microtubule liposome transport mechanism thus allowing the complex to travel to the nerves causing pain around the swollen tissue,...why couldn't lots of other molecules do the same thing?,...how effective would the patent be then? Could the big drug companies know that?

I know,...I know,...you folks have talked about all these things in the past, I was here too listening. But if the drug can't make it in the UK in a short time,...why should anywhere else be any different? When does that patent run out?

Good news travels by airplane, bad news by mule train,...how long has that marketing experiment been going on in the UK anyway?

Maybe we'll find out the sales next week??

If the sales were good,...if we had another Viagara on our hands, we wouldn't need to beg anyone for the UK results right now, would we?

In the end it doesn't matter what we shareholders, here on this thread think, it's what the rest of the world thinks.
What happened to those doctors that use to talk on this thread anyway? They still got their shares?
