Dear Dale,

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

To be more clear, Vasomax is a rapidly dissolving tablet containing the active ingrediant phentolamine. It is not a pill that is swallowed. To my understanding, the tablet is placed in the mouth with some water and dissolves rapidly so that it can then be readily absorbed by the oral mucosa.

The patent for absorption through the oral mucosa already belongs to Zona. Other companies can't just come in and make a generic version and administer it in this way. Again, this is Zona's competative and proprietary advantage.
