<<What they are telling you is that they can't meet demand with enough supply.That frustrates doctors/patients and they say " the hell with it ".Thus demand can go down.Thus their need at this time to advertise.It is NOT a negative in absolute terms>>

Tunica,

You claim patients are giving up in frustration when they can't get the product and that's the reason for a decrease in demand.
This is strictly hypothetical, but if I were in need of Muse and it was in such short supply, I would tell my pharmacist to double or triple my prescriptions, so as not to get caught short in the future. This in effect would increase demand, not decrease demand..
A delay of a few weeks in securing a product that restores my sexual functions is hardly a good reason to give up. After all, what other reasonable choices do I have?
