Viagra had 207,868 new scrips AND 215,376 total ending 4/24. So that means only 7,508 were refills. That seems really small to me, can I get any comments on what you people think of that? Anyone...why so little refills????

As a PFE shareholder I'm watching those refills carefully. My wife, who is a pharmacist, says she has yet to get a refill for Viagra.

At this time I am writing it off to the fact that if the average script size is 15 (my wife says it's more like 6 for her, but 15 seems to be the net standard), that means anyone filling s script in the first week would need to have used 5 a week. Most polls indicate married couples have sex about 3 or 4 times a month, so I think it reasonable the refill rates are low at this time.

I fully expect the refill rate to boom in a few weeks. If not, I'll have some decisions to make.
