Vlad......UK was approved in Dec for Muse sales....it took the better part of Jan and Feb to rampup....

The last 4 1/2 weeks of the 1st qtr sales were reported at $1.7 mill by Vivus....at ~$7.00 per unit.....

I don't have any hard numbers on the UK current scripts...but would think without Viagra competition and review of the rampup in 1997 in the USA .....I'am expecting about 5,000 scripts per week in the UK in the 2nd qtr 1998.

Additional countries may take about the same time to rampup...so I'am not expecting anything meaningful in the 2nd qtr....but the 3rd qtr should be a different story....

Vlad,

Viagra is already a big hit in Brazil. The product is being prescribed out of Miami. Two deaths in Brazil already have been noted.

Viagara scripts were off over 30%. Is this good or bad?
