View from the front.In the last week a very small pharmacy I deal with in addition to the usual Viagra customers, filled for 2 Japanese men multiple Rx. (2 and 5) they were taking home with them for sale or personal use ??.Also personal friend of mine going home to the Philippines took 21 pills( he tried to get more)to try to sell at a profit.The only thing that will stop Viagra is a ban by the FDA which I seriously doubt.The estimates of sales for Viagra for 1999 and beyond are a big joke.Whenever I question all the money I have in PFE I take another Viagra and 1/2 hour later my mind is at ease, but my "good buddy" is at ATTENTION!!

>I wonder about the FDA..why don't they make their decision public >INCLUDING the reasons for this action.Was their patient selection >flawed?Too small a sample population? Side Effects?What were >they,if any?..I hate these FDA decisions SANS explanations. A quick search of the FDA site leads to some interesting information. IN: FDA Glossary of Pesticide Chemicals (pg. 58) Zeldox is a trade name for hexythiazox. The Pfizer product is Ziprasidone (sp) - While the simple name conflict shouldn't be enough to disapprove the drug (look at Trovan), a name conflict with an insecticide would be another matter.
