<<Zonagen's first patent indeed does not hold much hope for Phentolamine as an oral medication to treat ED.>>
This raises an interesting question: then why did Zonagen make such a big deal about the first patent?
<<All of the work detailed in that first patent, however, considered Phentolamine WITHOUT sexual stimulation. When Phentolamine is given IN ADEQUATE DOSES and combined with sexual stimulation IT WORKS.>>
Honey, why don't you just keep doing your thing while I overdose on some Vasomax? By the way, do you know CPR?
<< A standard tablet takes about 30 minutes to dissolve in the stomach, releasing its drug load slowly & never reaching therapeutic levels in the blood>>
Here's a question a confused investor may ask: what sort of tablets did the men in all the clinical studies receive?
<<Zonagen has developed a fast dissolving tablet (less than one minute) that "overwhelms" the liver & provide therapeutic blood levels.>>
Yeah. This is what the second patent is all about. What Zonagen fails to mentione is that this snazzy "new" formulation is actually a very general formulation for a quick dissolve pill. Nothing new. nothing special. Zero.
<<The end result is a convenient tablet that provides natural erectile function provided sexual stimulation occurs, and allows normal sexual activity>>
This is a complete lie. There is zero evidence to support this statement.
<<All with no injections or serious side effects.>>
I agree with the "no injections" part. As far as "serious side effects" are concerned, it's one thing to die while making love, it's another thing to die from a heart attack after taking a bogus erection pill which didn't even help you get to first base.
<<Company information released to date has not "obfuscated" (how would you determine what is obfuscated anyway)>>
Yes...it has been obfuscated and investors have been misled. The way I determined that the results were obfuscated was because the company loudly touted the supposedly positive response to the drug while suppressing the fact that the tests themselves were poorly set up and executed. In light of this fact, it was impossible for the average investor to properly evaluate the drug's potential. This created the necessary "information vacuum" that the touts and shills used to fuel speculation and artificially inflate the price of the stock.
<<This drug will not work for all classes of ED. It will work in about 40 - 50% of the men who have a vascular cause for their ED - that's been estimated at 70-80% of all those with the disease. Oral medications will be the first to be prescribed by any thinking MD. >>
This drug will not work...period. And you don't have a clue about what a thinking MD would or wouldn't prescribe.
<<For an estimate of what 5% market share means to Zonagen, find my recent post to taxikid.>>
For an estimate of what 0% market share means to Zonagen, find a recent chart of Zonagen's stock price.
<<These are the kinds of facts that Schering Plough bought into>>
LOL!!! Yeah...and look at the "facts" J.P. Morgan bought into when they got involved in Bre-x!!!
<<Of course, you have more experience & knowledge in pharmaceuticals than Schering - so we should listen to you. >>
I certainly don't have more experience & knowledge in pharmaceuticals than Schering. However, I have years of experience in uncovering stock frauds. I can assure you that the victims of these scams range from widows and orphans all the way up to huge corporations like Schering.
