Brad, Viagra is going to be a very interesting drug. I have a huge waiting list of patients waiting for it's release, which should be soon (2-3 weeks?). If it lives up to its rumors, it could be one of the most successful medications in history. This will be even more likely if it proves beneficial in women, too, as rumored. When Viagra is released, PFE will go up hard (hehe, had to throw that in), easily passing 100, IMO. Even with all this, I think Vasomax, or any other oral form of Phentolamine, would have a place as a possible alternative in the treatment of ED. BTW, I'm not sure about the Viagra/Zoloft combination, as Zoloft has been associated with decreased libido. An interesting, but perhaps dangerous and not recommended at this time thought, is Viagra/Trazadone. Trazadone has the potentially dangerous side effect of priapism (sustained erection). Brad

Yes, Viagra will undoubtedly be in very high demand once it hits the market. One of the things that every drug company strives for is being first to market with a hot new drug. The greater the head start, the bigger their potential market share since patients tend to stay on what works for them rather than switching around to try every new product that comes to market. If SGP truly believes that Vasomax is good enough to be approved in the US, then they'd better get rolling and submit an NDA soon. The longer they wait, the less likely they'll be able to take significant market share away from Viagra IF Vasomax ever gets approved.
