The unfair part of the Barron's article is that they try to
blame everything on a slower demand for Muse, which are not
substantiated by the facts as we know them. The only positive
point they make is that refills have steadily risen to a
recent range of 4000-5000 a week "enough to make MUSE quite
a successful drug launch, piling up sales of $100 million
for the nine months earning Vivus $31 million, or 86 cents
a share". Then they go on to attack profit margins, which
again is not substantiated. With so many promising aspects
of Muse, why are these business publications favoring Viagra?
At this point we don't know much about it's performance and
how it will fare in the marketplace other than what Pfizer
tells us or people speculate. Don't let us be naive about the
power of PR and what goes on in the media.
