To one and all: One thing that bothers me about ED solutions are the costs to the patients involved. The discussion seems to gyrate around using one or more of these applicatons together to produce good results. That's fine, but as a lay person I am aware that MUSE by itself runs in the neighborhood of $25 per shot. Add Viagra or other spikers to it and what are we talking about in $ and sense? Now if the CO is setting up a new plant adding new costs and is attempting to invade the Euro market, I am concerned with how many overseas patients these proceedures reach at such high prices? The price per treatment cannot go down unless they are able to achieve some enormous economies of scale. Are prices a factor or not? As yet I have not heard anything in this regard? When I was younger in a different time we heard about Spanish Fly (a rather cheap stimulant) and Salt Peter (on board ships) to keep passions under control. Now everything is high tech and prices are shrugged off in the pursuit of happiness. At the time of life most affected by loss of virility, romance has abated in favour of the age of logic? Perhaps, these drugs are only pump primers that might start the Ball rolling again? Angler
