Bradpalm,as Bob Bennett from Paula Jones fame used to say,you drag a
10 $ bill through a trailer park and you never know what you'll find.
I thought I would collect here a sample of the relevant science in erectile dysfunction.I understand that not being a physician you are neccessarily limited in your understanding of this matter; so please let me know if I can help with any questions you may have.
.As you go through the scientific evidence collected below, the following are key points to remember:

SILDENEFIL will ONLY work if there is SOME RESIDUAL HEALTHY penile tissue.So it will not work for the millions that have dead
penile nerves and arteries such as the advanced diabetics;Muse instead works in all.
Thus Sildenefill and Muse are different and treat different stages of impotence and different patients;and there are millions of them more than enoough for each ( if Sildenef gets approved).
The best way is to use both.

Phentolamine is a non issue as Drs Morrales & Heaton from Queen's University have commented in the below excellent review article on male impotence.
Finally Brad there is a reason why Vivus got to 38 from 16 ( after falling from 42 ), as a lot of investors will soon find out: there is and there will be a giant demand for it.

Alprostadil/Muse/Vivus
Treatment of men with erectile dysfunction with transurethral
alprostadil Padma Nathan H, Hellstrom WJG, Kuiser FE, et al for the MUSE study group.
New England Journal of Medicine 1997; 336: 1-7

1511 men with erectile dysfunction thought to be"" ORGANIC "" in origin were given a test dose of alprostadil (125-1000mgm) administered intra-urethrally in the office. 996 men had a erectile response satisfactory for intercourse and were entered into a placebo controlled double-blind trial. 65% of patients using placebo had intercourse at least once during the 3 month study period compared to 19% receiving placebo (p < 0.001) . 10.8% of patients suffered from penile pain but this rarely resulted in discontinuing treatment. The response rates appear surprisingly good in patients with vasculogenic impotence.
This is an important paper with large numbers of patients in a well organised study.
