Would like comments back on this assumption/observation/(hope?): 1- Viagra did 200,000 New Scrips last week. 2- Viagra works 70% of cases. 3- 70% of 200,000 = 140,000 New, regular users. 4- 30% of 200,000 = 60,000 Failures. 5- 25% of Failures try Muse. Thats 15,000 new Muse Scrips! That's why were in VVUS...Right?? All comments wellcome. I have deliberately used th 200,000 figure, not 300,000 or more. PS: a- Apparently most Insurance Companies won't cover reimburemnt for Viagra. b- Muse costs twice as much as Viagra but previous posts indicate approximately 65% of insurance plans cover it, including VA.
