"I never said the FDA approves/disapproves drugs manufactured specifically for the overseas market. My understanding is that the Commerce Dept and the FDA regulates the shipment of any product from the United States which is not approved for usage in the destination country. You can call 301-443-1544 if you are not satisfied with my response, but please do not tell them your theory that Vivus has been shipping product overseas, this will be bad for everyone (including the company)."

My theory that Vivus has been shipping overseas???? What are you talking about? I have no information (or theory) one way or the other as to what Vivus is shipping overseas. I just called a friend who works for Smith Kline Beecham to see what was required to ship a product overseas and posted her reply so that we would all know whether or not FDA "approval" is required.
