Don: First rule of fact-finding: just because it appears in print does not mean that everything in the article is accurate. The major side effects for Viagra are headaches and flushing. The incidence of diarrhea in most Viagra studies was equal to placebo. Moreover, the number of patients who dropped out of the Viagra studies was equal to the placebo groups....basically unheard of in pharmaceutical clinical studies. If you really feel that ED patients would prefer MUSE over an oral agent that has shown a superior safety profile in Phase III clinical studies, I would strongly suggest that you to pose this question to 10 of your male friends who don't own VVUS stock. Then, also check how long it took to explain the MUSE concept of administration as compared to an oral agent. The results will surprise you. BigKNY3
