Well put MissLil; you just have to be burned by a drug a few times to appreciate their crippling effects; for those that wonder, Vtach in your post means ventricular tachycardia ( a deadly arrhythmia ). Something that was missed when Hismanal and other popular once a day antihistamine were tested and approved. Now they are off the market. TA

"He had been using the needle, but he said it lacked spontaneity." I suppose he calls taking a pill and waiting an hour for it take effect spontaneous?

RT It's expected. The hype will be incredible. there is so much sexual inadequacy out there and it's all being classified as ED when it really isn't. Viagra will be a short term cure for those. They didn't mention (maybe you didn't) how the prostate cancer patient was treated. RRP , external beam, seeds, hormones, watchful waiting or proton accelerator. A fair number of prostate cancer patients are not impotent, and perfect candidates for Viagra. Big fellow was right the revenues will be incredible and some of it sustainable. Vivus needs the international market to boost it's sales in the short and long term. I beleive this is very doable. Not much sense worrying about Viagra unless your are long in PFE. IMO Ed
