Let me propose a hypothetical question. Once Viagra is approved and released, why would a PCP bother with the time-consuming task of prescribing and titrating Muse dosages in the office? If some of these patients eventually fail Viagra, I believe that they would be far more likely to refer them to a urologist for further evaluation and management rather than turning to a more invasive treatment option. Therefore, could the money that Vivus spent spending on the marketing material and video tape in those yellow boxes sent to PCPs been better spent? Any thoughts? Bradpalm1

Cacaito, if they have built 3 lines in 12 months ( 2 old and one new )why can't they build twice that ( 6 lines ) in the next 12 months, now that their lawsuits are over, MCA and FDA first 2 approvals are in ( old factory and new ) ( which are also fader in the beggining; now they got the hang of it ), and they have 93 mill cash,a lot more than they started, plus, they 'll have more money from new line coming in, and boomin' demand from Europe, through England? I mean the factory I would assume is harder to build than a line , don't you think? If they built 2 factories in one year , why can't they built 6 lines? TA
