Jim,

Keep in mind that this is also another plug for ICOS by McCamant. One article today spoke of their drug being better because it is more specific toward the penis itself, thus bypassing the side effects of viagra. However, later in the same article it spoke of other possible indications for this product, including cardiac.....does this sound a bit paradoxical to anyone else?? If it's so specific to the penis phosphodiesterase system, then......????

FWIW, the new sample packs going into offices now are more typical of other drugs..... blister packs with 5 pills. This signals some increased marketing getting ready to begin, as if it's really necessary at this point. This will be a lot more patient-friendly than the bottle with 15 pills and handing out a few to each patient.
Next step for Viagra per recent articles appears to be release in Brazil and Mexico...any other places expected by early summer?

Regards,

Marshall
