SGP's statements in their annual report concerning Vasomax (ie that it is a an alternative to Viagra that will hopefully work on those that don't respond to Viagra) validates my hypothesis that SGP already knows Vasomax will not gain immediate approval without first conducting dual clinical trials to compare Vasmoax and Viagra. Approval is a long way away and hardly a sure thing. Even my barber was asking me about Viagra this weekend. He's in his 60's and has had bypass surgery but doesn't take nitrates anymore. The word has spread pretty fast about this drug already. Hank

Dauntless, in response to: "I'd like to hear from Brad as to whether the SGP rep introduced Vasomax into their conversation or they were simply having a discussion of available therapies & it "came up" " Vasomax came up in a conversation with two colleagues of mine (both Urologists) about Viagra and the treatment of impotence. One of the Urologists brought up Vasomax, and suggested that from a mechanistic point of view, it would be interesting, and perhaps more effective, to try combining Viagra and Vasomax together. From a physiology point of view, it is a reasonable hypothesis. I might also add, medications used for the same indications are often used in combination for resistant cases. This includes impotence, where currently medications are often used in combinations. As for the question about the SGP rep, I have never run into one. Brad
