Peter, no, I mean that the marketing has been fierce...

...not that you overexagerated drug efficacy.

I see Natrecor as an interesting therapy, but not a blockbuster.
Here is another big secret...

NOBODY USES IV NITRO FOR ACUTE CHF DECOMPENSATIONS.

JNJ's interest, IMHO, is something other than Natrecor, with Nesiritide
being a cherry on top of the pie. I am not sure what the pie is.

"Experts" in the industry tell me that Natrecor was priced incorrectly. They sell it
too cheaply. Sure, that could change if volume sales increase with OP infusions,
but I see that as a long way away. You either need a dedicated clinic or a portable
infusion system. Oh, yes, and a clinical trial that would justify its use.

JNJ is looking for an oral equivalent of Remicaide. I suspect that is the
hook here. Start thinking of some cute names now. How about Rambocaide?
