AT ......................................................... New Rxs.....cash...Insurance Total Prescription Drug Market..........25,410,998...24%....76%........... Sexual Function Disorder Market.............119,810...49%...51%.......... Viagra......................................................113,134... 51%...50%......... Muse...........................................................4,609....26%....73%........ By NEW RX's...this means no refills are counted right? Well, of course a brand new script is gonna be higher than a product already in the system! Did you notice the insurance & cash #'s on Muse and Viagra? Insurance companies paying for a product seems to sway some people's opinions of a drug. Example..generic drugs. Insurance companies pay more on generic so people get generic. PFE won't get squat from the generics that the insurance companies will one day be paying out for. Muse is already 73% covered (right in line with total perscriptions %)...that is a plus. There might be 51% of ED patients (cash only) on "fixed incomes" who will return to MUSE for no other reason then that. MOSBY....My opinion should be yours! E'Lane
