Zebra, How soon do you think this will have effect on new scripts? Is this the first time VVUS sending information packages? Did they ever send info/add packages to urologists before? Musa

Zebra, This is great. As a urologist in a large group we have received many previous marketing materials from Vivus. We have handed out at least a hundred (? more) travel kits with video and storage cases to patients in the last year. I just haven't been able to get it on the thread. I also received the urology package today which is the brochure and letter sans all the tape etc.. The marketing is full bore in Feb and I assume (careful) that means they assume they will be able to meet the demand. I hope so. I like the campaignand you didn't mention national TV and magazines by name TIME, NEWSWEEK, PREVENTION (the Doc's favorite), DIABETES, New CHOICES. Could be pretty impressive. Ed
