OK-

I am certainly no doctor, and definitely have no experience with MUSE, so could someone please translate the second half of this statement taken from the 10-Q, in terms a non-doctor would understand? What is the difference between MUSE and the "second product candidate"? What does the prazosin add?

The Company has sought and will continue to seek additional pharmacologic agents for the treatment of erectile dysfunction that are suitable for transurethral delivery for which significant safety data already exists. The Company believes that such agents may progress rapidly through clinical development and the regulatory process due to the preexisting safety data. The Company expects to begin a Phase III multi-center trial in the first half of 1998 for its second product candidate, a combination of alprostadil and prazosin delivered via the Company's transurethral system for erection. The Company has several other product candidates in preclinical development.

Thanks

Ed
