Linda,

People also tend to stay with the medications that work for them because Dr's are reluctant to change a patients meds once the symptoms have been successfully treated. Even if Vasomax made it to market, it will only be after every person with an interest has already tried Viagra. Only those that are unhappy with Viagra are likely to even try Vasomax. That will leave a small number of potential customers given Viagra's 70%-80% efficacy. Now add to that the fact that only 35% of those, at best, are likely to respond favorably to Vasomax and the market gets even smaller. IMO if a person doesn't respond to Viagra, they probably won't respond to Vasomax either even though the mechanisms are different. This is just my guess based on the significantly lower efficacy of Vasomax.

I might also add that once people get used to the idea that they have to take Viagra at least an hour in advance, the supposed 15 minute advantage that Vasomax offers will become less significant.
