jsc: Second, and more importantly, she says the "30 million men" figure that
is being used to estimate revenue is based on the number of men affected
permenently by this problem. However, she says there are a lot of
prescription drugs that cause temporary disfunction. >>>>>

jsc,
stop to think a minute about your above comment. 30 million is more than 11 % of the entire US population. Do you think for one moment that this number on MEN have significant ED that is going to require long term treatment? No way. They (PFE) uses such a loose definition of any problem at any time (even if only once) to get this inflated number. Most are transient and short duration with spontaneous "cure". Many more are psychological and will resolve with very short term Viagra use. Only a fraction will have mild to moderate ED that Viagra can treat and will not go away, therefore requiring the long term reuse that everyone is banking on. Sure there will be lots of triers and great many short term treatment. But from there the numbers get significantly smaller.
