-- I was coming back from taking my kids to Karate lessons this morning, and listening to "Dr. Dean O'dell show." -- He starts lashing out at NBC for not airing a commercial to help men with impotence. Plus, it could an early warning sign for a more serious medical problem. He then mentions the product, MUSE, and it's maker, Vivus, Inc. And then said the stock is up due to the controversy. -- Folks, this story is becoming like the Energizer Bunny. Won't go away. Out.

<<Braddy, I suppose I have to spell it out for you again:>> On the contrary, Tunica, let me spell it out for YOU again. Oral dipyridamole (Persantine) may be a worthless medication but at least it's benign and well tolerated. Intravenous dipyridamole, which is commonly used for cardiac stress testing, is also well-tolerated despite the fact that it's administered to known cardiac patients and is used in much higher serum concentrations. Therefore, to belabor this point, dipyridamole, another Type V-PDE inhibitor like sildenafil, appears to be safe and well-tolerated even in patients with cardiac disease and multiple cardiac risk factors. Therefore sildenafil should be safe and well-tolerated as well. And unless Pfizer plans on releasing an intravenous formulation of sildenafil, I think you don't need to worry about the need for cardiac moniters in the bedroom. <<. Braddy is not eligilble to sit for this essay question because he is too distracted worrying about Sildenafil.>> Tunica, you're the one who's worried about sildenafil. I'm just trying to moniter and correct your misinformation. Bradpalm1 P.S. once again, 'Amiodarone' is not a PDE inhibitor P.P.S. GO BRONCOS!!!
