Good News About Impotence Treatments....
That is the headline on the front cover of this month's Penthouse Magazine. On page "102" they have an article called "The Penis Page". It is an overview of ED. Generally, it is a laudatory article.... but VVUS comes under some scrutiny. Below is an edited version of the article as it relates to MUSE.
"But three companies, Pfizer, Zonagen, and Vivus, are now bringing to market drugs that show real promise of alleviating many forms of impotence. Not only are they proving effective, but they are much easier to use. One is a pellet, the other two are pills.
The Vivus pellet is called MUSE, for medicated urethral system for erection." Using a plastic "applicator", you push a tiny pellet containing a drug called alprostadil, which was developed to enhance blood flow in infants, about an inch into your urethra. Once there, the pellet releases the medication, which stimulates blood flow locally to the penis, making it more available for John Thomas when needed.
While the treatment is effective and approved for use by the F.D.A., there are side effects. Twenty-nine percent of MUSE users have reported some penile pain, and a number have experienced dizziness and urethral bleeding. But many consider the risk of these side effects a worthwile trade-off for achieving a working erection."

Forgive me for asking, being new and long to VVUS, are those percentage figures correct and what do people know about the urethral bleeding issue?
thx.,
