<<What in your mind figures as reasonable odds that SGP will dump Zona anytime in the near future>>

SGP will not "dump" ZONA publicly. However, I am extremely confident that they are quietly backing away.

<<A point that I want to make. Patent litigation, press releases, scams and scandals have NOTHING to do with FDA approval>>

Good point and quite accurate. However, Zonagen made a terrible mistake. The whole impetus behind the Vasomax scam was to ride the ED wave. From what I've been able to glean, targeting Vasomax for the MED market was a very haphazard decision and was motivated solely to pump the stock price. Vasomax will not be approved for ED for two very simple reasons:

1) There is zero evidence that Phentolamine is effective in treating MED.

2) The Vasomax 40mg dose is too close to the toxic dose.
