<<Let me think that one over, but why think>>

Well, that certainly explains your lack of cerebral aptitude. May I suggest something? Try thinking just once. It won't hurt. I promise.

<<Antibiotics with the same spectrum, Ampicillan and Amoxicillin>>

Very good Myron! Yes ampicillin and amoxicillin do have the same spectrum of antimicrobial activity. The only problem is that they do NOT display the same levels of efficacy. Amoxicillin is more effect than ampicillin at lower doses. Ampicillin was discovered first. Amoxicillin arose from a change in the chemical structure of ampicillin that improved efficacy. Will Vasomax be an improvement on the efficacy of Viagra? I doubt it.

<<Viagra, one hour to becoming effective, Vasomax 15 minutes.>>

That's assuming that Vasomax IS effective. So far, ZONA has failed to produce the clinical data to prove this. If they had, they could have filed with the FDA instead of trying to pawn off their snake oil to Mexico.

<<I guess I could go on and on but why?>>

Who's stopping you? However, I can give you a good reason for not
doing so if that's what you're groping for. To avoid making a bigger fool of yourself than you already have!

<<The FDA will not create a monopoly for Pfizer, and if Vasomax is effective approval should be no problem.>>

Once again IF is the operative word here. Vasomax has not been proven to be effective. Sure, the FDA has no intention of giving Pfizer a monopoly on the MED market. That is why other drug firms like Bristol-Myers Squibb and ICOS are now rushing to generate their own competition for Viagra. However, just like ZONA, they will have to come up with something that offers an improvement in either efficacy or safety.

<<OK HUNK>>

Thanks again for the complement but just so that we don't get our signals crossed I should tell you I'm not gay.
