>>The delay IMO is waiting for the 6 week study period in the UK that the NHS has started.>>

MK,

There has to be some explanation for delay in EU but I am not convinced by this explanation. The health systems vary widely in different EU countries. Viagra is approved why not muse? If UK decides to approve ED treatments on NHS ad libitum...or UK decides to be highly restrictive what difference does this make to muse approval in other EU countries? Of course if NHS is restrictive, French might tell us to %$£$ off and do the opposite.

On another point, all the communications that I have had from Astra suggest that is is the responsibility of Astra to seek approval not Vivus. Why should Astra hurry too much? OK they might upset Vivus a bit, otherwise they should choose best time for launches, evidently no hurry at the moment.
