betty,

IMO the Viagra hype is still in force.

Remember what Edderd told us.

How can you expect refills if the new scripts are so low?

I suspect that most of the news are really old customors running out of refills.

Assuming that about 2000 of the new/refill numbers are regular cutomers and the average MUSE script lasts 6 weeks and IMS numbers reflect 60% of actual, we can estimate that MUSE has about 20000 regular post Viagra customers.

IMO there is much room for growth if the PCPs can be educated about MUSE.

Let's face it, its much more of a hassle/embarassment for a doctor to deal with MUSE than Viagra but the docs (such as Zebra) who are concerned about their patients well being will give the extra time to offer the MUSE alternative.
