Don,

There are more pharmacies in the USA than weekly scripts of MUSE. Most pharmacies do not carry it if there is not a local doctor prescribing it. Pharmacies that want to be well stocked with all drugs usually only carry a box or two. He can make up all the stories he pleases. Pharmacies which decide that they want to return product send it back to the wholesaler. If the wholesalers pipelines are full, they simply will not order more product from Vivus. At the meeting last month, Wilson said Vivus was selling and shipping all product produced. This does not sound to me like a problem. I am sure that Astra is buying any extra product that Vivus will sell.
You know the English are a little different than Americans. They enjoy taking their time and are not the pill popping rat race society as in the US. Maybe this is why MUSE is doing well in England ie good old fashioned patient doctor communication with thorough instruction and not just heres your script--next case.
