Yesterday, I felt like writing a sarcastic response to seeing these numbers. Quick call CNBC and tell them they need to blast the Pfizer CEO, Viagra's market has dropped 40%!!! and new patients are a mere one-third of the peak. Ah well, I guess it's not the same when you don't have a small company to pick on.
The numbers clearly show the bloom is off the rose. The trend is down for Viagra and holding steady (maybe rising) for MUSE. A few more weeks data and we'll have a better picture for MUSE in US. As Ed told us some time ago, we aren't patient enough. It will take time to turn things around. |
