VLAD,

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BW HealthWire)--March 8, 1999--VIVUS, Inc. VVUS has been issued patent no. 5877216 for the "Treatment of Female Sexual Dysfunction" by the U.S. Patent Office. >>

Was this the exciting news which prompted your recent enthusiasm to purchase more VVUS shares? Does this mean that every company that intends to market a cream for female erectile dysfunction must now PAY Vivus a royalty to distribute their products.
This sounds like a serious blow to HVSF (Harvard Scientific) which was experimenting with female rabbits. Does this patent cover ED for female rabbits as well as humans? <gg>>
