Dave,

A little of everything.

I was in Hespeler, Ontario yesterday in a pool tourniquet
drinking tequila at 1 am and never really got in gear
today. Great little town.

I saw the Mobicox approval. Hopefully they also increase
the total NSAID market.

If we sold a drug that targeted a condition that had a
finite period, I would be concerned. Since the only real
option for a physician is to prescribe pills for life or
try Pennsaid - I'm pretty sure we'll get respectable
market share.

I agree the third player plays price; but there's a lot
of room:

CELEBREX® PRICES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

100 mg Celebrex® Pills

60 - 100 mg doses $105 ($1.75/100 mg dose) Note:15 days
100 - 100 mg doses $170 ($1.70/100 mg dose)
200 - 100 mg doses $330 ($1.65/100 mg dose)

200 mg Celebrex® Pills

60 - 200 mg doses $156 ($2.60/200 mg dose)
100 - 200 mg doses $255 ($2.55/200 mg dose)
200 - 200 mg doses $500 ($2.50/200 mg dose)

50 Capsules of Celebrex 200mg $225
100 Capsules of Celebrex 200mg $400
200 Capsules of Celebrex 200mg $750
50 Tablets of Vioxx 12.5mg $225
100 Tablets of Vioxx 12.5mg $400
200 Tablets of Vioxx 12.5mg $750
50 Tablets of Vioxx 25mg $225
100 Tablets of Vioxx 25mg $400
200 Tablets of Vioxx 25mg $750

I'm not too concerned. I suspect the new guy comes in and
creates a new balance in the average price after taking
a reasonable percentage. Boehringer's got a good name.

They're all systemic NSAID's and don't have any advantage
in our niche.

I don't know how much we would be deviating from the earlier
phase IV selling price of $45 wholesale and $60-65 retail.

At least that's what I used as a worldwide selling price
in the 5% market penetration forecasts I based the share
price predictions on.

You know how I feel about setting low expectations but I
won't be upset if my estimates were all low. It's only the
other way that bother's me.

This pause feels to me like the eye of a small storm.

All the best,

Wolf
