LOS ANGELES, April 23 (Reuters) - Cruttenden Roth Thursday
raised its rating on Vivus Inc to strong buy from
neutral and set a 1998 price target on the stock of $23 a
share.
--said believes Pfizer Inc's anti-impotence drug
Viagra has safety and efficacy issues which will limit the
patient base the product can treat.
--said Vivus will be well positioned to take advantage of
erectile dysfunction patients who Viagra may not be able to
treat successfully.
--estimated that Viagra may only be effective in 50 percent
of erectile dysfunction patients and that those you find it
ineffective may turn to Vivus' MUSE treatment for impotence.
--said Vivus' new production facility, expected to come
online in mid-1998, will allow it to reap rewards from Pfizer's
marketing campaign which will likely increase the number of men
seeking drugs for erectile dysfunction.
