Very crude and crass remark coming from a supposed doctor.

MUSE was extremely popular last year when the alternatives were to stick an needle in it or have a plastic bubble sutured into it. Not a bad alternative considering the options.

Looks to me like the magic blue pill is rapidly loosing its magic.

No MUSE certainly is not perfect but if marketed properly (50 sales people calling on 8,000 urologists in 1997 IMO is not effective marketing) it can make a small biotech company such as Vivus very profitable.

It should be interesting to see how domestic sales do if Astra partners domestically. We can then see if it is the product or lack of marketing. Time will tell.
