Just watched 20/20 on ABC and saw a segment on the new male impotence pill... specifically Viagra. No mention of Zonagen. Dr. Timothy Johnson went thru the benefits of the pill over all the other methods (injection, pumps, etc.). Also, Viagra was stated to be able to help physical as well as psychologic impotence. A man that participated in the trials said he felt like a 20 year old again after taking the pill and his wife had a huge smile on her face. Viagra should see some positive movement on Monday from this as well as the imminent FDA approval which is due in a matter of weeks. Maybe Zonagen will get a bit of a boost from this as well.

You just reinforce my point. If there is such a regulation, which I doubt, it is meaningless. I was involved in the clinical studies of Zoloft, and your statistics are wrong, esp concerning headahces and impotence. Everyone knew at the time of the submission to the FDA that there was little difference between Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil as far as clinical efficiency and side effects. It was known that there would be some that would respond to one and not the other, just like any medication, making any such regulation meaningless. Brad
