I don't know if it was just me but I was working on the computer sitting in front of the TV. The ad came on twice while I was there but each time I became aware of it about in the middle so I was most impressed with all of the negative disclosure messages. I did not get grabbed by any opening line to get a positive messsage out of this ad at all. Again the question: was the ad effective in getting patients and docs to consider MUSE. BTW I opened last week's Managed care tabloid and found a glossy insert ad for a new injectable apros. product. The front showed dejected man and woman in bed, backs to each other. Open it up the they are facing each other and ready for action. A Picture showed the product package with 2 vials. syringe and needles. It was tastefully done and I wish MUSE was the advertiser for this one . Jim
