VIVUS has not given up on R&D! They have a study of their combination suppository being presented at the up coming AUA meeting showing superior results when tested against MUSE. See the abstracts on AOL Motley Fool PFE board provided by BigKNY3. It is impossible to"fight" the free hype and publicity that the media has given to Viagra. But all good things tend to run their course and my belief in that within a month the numbers for new RXs will level off and a lot of the PFE/Viagra magic will be gone for the momentum followers. PFE is a great company/great investment and Viagra is going to make a ton of money. But even the NEJM article by the gurus of Viagra Gold and P-N only reported 69% efficacy with 22% placebo effect. Net is 47% TRUE efficacy for the drug. This is MUCH lower then all the docs and Urologist are writing about. So the odds are those not "studying" the effect are not hearing the truth yet from their failed patients. It takes a REAL man in this media hype to stand up and say "I took Viagra and it did NOTHING for me!" but in time this be become apparent. Jim
