Why No Panel Review for viagra??????
This is from another thread:
>>>>>>
As we all know no panel date had been scheduled for viagra!
Why is it no FDA panel date scheduled for reviewing viagra?

What "No panel review for viagra" means?:
A) viagra is not a controversial drug, it is straight forward, minimal side-effects, the trial went fine, more than satisfactory...we can decide the fate of viagra ourselves without independent doctors, and scientists reviewing them first, and giving us their independent opinion, and evaluation of the drug...

B) the study, and the trial has problem, it is obvious the side-effect is crucial to the patients, the drug has room to improve, quantity of data, and time frame of the study is not sufficient enough to deserve giving it a panel review yet...since it is too obvious that the study is not completed...

C) We accepted the filing as is, but we need more data, and information for drug, before
schaduling a panel review date later this year...

IMHO...option B and C is more viable in this case...Only One opinion!
Good Luck All..., and Happy Investing!

Ahmed <<Is it pretty much a done deal that Viagra will get FDA approval on March 30? Or is there a possibility it won't get approved?>>

Ahmed : Only the FDA know for sure.

One thing seems certain that by 3/30/98 they will be letting everyone know. Based on recent press releases, I would guess the probability of an approval is 98%.

Good investing!
