Dave,

I don't believe that Periostat has the ADA seal. For what its worth, it doesn't seem to have hurt Periostat sales growth:

NEWTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 1999--CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:CGPI) announced total net revenues of $4.3 million in the third quarter of 1999 compared to $401,000 in net revenues in the third quarter of 1998.

Net sales of Periostat(R), the Company's lead drug for the treatment of adult periodontitis, were $4.2 million for the third quarter of 1999, whichrepresented a 31% increase over Periostat net sales in the second quarter of 1999.

Dave,

ATRX bad new is right. Absolutely flat-line sales growth in Atridox; I love how they tried to couch it as some phenomenal growth over 3Q98 - WHEN THE PRODUCT WASN'T EVEN FULLY LAUNCHED!! That would tick me off right there... That is worthy of some kinda IR back handspring award. <g>

BTW, I'm not short ATRX (even though it may sound that way) nor do I think they pose a particularly strong threat to CGPI. I just couldn't let that PR pass "un-saluted."
