I live in Rome and called an urologist. He has not heard of any "Center for impotence and fertility" nor of Dr. Greco.I checked with the operator and under the phone number (8842213) Dr. Ermanno Greco was listed under his own name. The urologist I called was very surprised at the sort of experiment descibed in Lancet. He thought it was at least unprofessional. Sad to say the urologist never heard of Muse but was well aware of Viagra. Last week, however, in a widely circulated Italian weekly magazine the cover story was dedicated on male impotence.Viagra had the leading role but Muse was favorably and fairly accurably mentionned even if only shortly. I am not a medical doctor and would prefer Tunica to call directly, but if there are problems I could help. Monday is a public Holiday in Italy so call on Tuesday. Italy will be a very important market for ed treatment as our reputation as Dongiovanni's has a little tarnished since Casanova's time. But please refrain from biased remarks as in many fields Italian medical research is quite advanced. Francesco P.s.:BTW I am long in Vivus
