Hi Wayne, Like I said, I'm no attorney, but I think the key words in that blurb are "indirect" and "resellers." Those practices may or may not in fact be legit, but either way I personally wouldn't touch 'em with a ten foot pole if I knew how. LP.

MacroChem Impotence Gel Ingredients Lose Potency; Shares Drop Lexington, Massachusetts, Sept. 6 (Bloomberg) -- MacroChem Corp. said a study of its experimental Topligan impotence gel, which is rubbed on the penis to produce an erection, showed that the drug sometimes lost its potency, sending shares down as much as 41 percent. Shares of Lexington, Massachusetts-based MacroChem fell as low as $3.61 in trading before U.S. markets opened. The shares closed at $6.15 yesterday. MacroChem said a significant number of samples of returned, unused patient doses showed that the potency of the ingredients in Topligan were ``considerably below'' the intended dose. The company said the drop in potency may have been caused by interactions with drug's dispenser. Topligan is a topical gel containing 1 percent alprostadil, a synthetic version of a hormone found in human semen. --Angela Zimm in the Boston newsroom (617) 338-5813 or azimm@Bloomberg.net /mfr Story illustration: To compare the performance of MacroChem to relevant indexes, see {MCHM US <Equity> COMP D <GO>}
