>RT.. As for any additional updates on last week's meeting, sorry, nothing new.< DR. BOND, It was encouraging news to hear that three additional production lines are under construction. What is the timeline for the completion of the three additional lines? With one additional line of production producing product at risk at the new facility, we haven't added much overall capacity since the old facility will never return to it's previous output levels. However, with the completion of three additional lines along with MCA & FDA approvals just around the corner we will no longer be capacity constrained. Then will see if this baby can really fly... RT PS. Where can I get a complete recap of the scrip data?

dear dr bond-i have a substantial (for me) holding of vvus and use the product.i have talked with nina several times and have been waiting for a return call for 3 wks. so i could run these nos by her for her input.but getting anxious to add to my position at this price level i'd like to put them out for consideration. my notes from nina indicate that new scripts averaged 10,000/wk last year.assuming a 50% success and a 30%dropout(of remaining 50%) the nos would look something like this IF a patient refills 1x/month new scripts refills month tot all wk1 10000 0 wk2 10000 0 wk3 10000 0 wk4 10000 0 40000 wk5 10000 3500 wk6 10000 3500 wk7 10000 3500 wk8 10000 3500 54000 wk9 10000 7000 wk10 10000 7000 wk11 10000 7000 wk12 10000 7000 68000 this progression goes on until weeks 21 thru 24 looks like this: 110000/month knowing that the max production is1,800,000 doses/qtr from 1 line or 300,000 fills (6 doses)= 100000/month using these assumptions the original plant should have been to capacity by mid year considering the need to fill the pipeline.if these nos are anywhere near probably it would suggest a higher dropout rate. thoughts??? one other point,i just finished reading post 5330 from rubble re dr place and my urologist did not indicate that urine was necessary for a solvent nor as i recall does the tape from vvus. THE SPACINGS ARE NOT ALIGNING CORRECTLY _SORRY
