Betty,

I had not seen before the total 1998 Astra revenue for muse.

So we have for Astra revenue in US dollars:
Q1+Q2 = 3.785M (communication to DaiS from Astra)
Q1+Q2+Q3 = 7.696 M (communication to DaiS from Astra)
Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4 = 10.850 M (from Astra web site)

Gives:
Q3 revenue = 3.911 M
Q4 revenue = 3.154 M

Decline in specification Q3 to Q4 = 19.4%

It came from several sources that for UK alone quarterly revenue was at the level 2.5M dollars. Now for revenue 2.5/3.154 is 79%, and for population UK/(UK+Swe+Swi) is 78%.

Muse launched UK, February and Sweden and Switzerland, May(?).

Viagra launched in EU in September. I think it is fair to assume that muse has faced full viagra competition during Q4 in the above countries. We have also been told that in UK viagra hit hard initially but then muse recovered to original levels. Thus the 19.4% would represent a larger decline caused by the initial viagra hit.
