Thanks for the link.

Of course, the ones on whom MUSE works have better things to do than post on web newsgroups. <gg>

Seriously, I feel sorry for those who think that Viagra will work where Caverject or MUSE failed, but again they will be trying a combination of Viagra and Caverject or Viagra and MUSE very quickly. This is also why I think the longer Viagra takes 'til approval, the worse off we are as investors in Vivus. So far, Viagra has no failures in the marketplace because it has no distribution. Therefore the effect on MUSE market is unknown and that uncertainty is killing our stock. (Insert hackneyed phrase, "The Street hates uncertainty", here)

My rough impression of effectiveness (defined as intercourse)
applied to all men with ED from any cause:

Placebo or Yohimbine...............20%

Viagra (no data, just a guess).....30%

MUSE.......................................40%

Caverject...................................60%

Vacuum pump...........................80%

A combination of any two of these (except MUSE and Caverject, same drug) will be more effective IMHO.

Don't kid yourself, this is a tough problem and there is no panacea.
