mkilloran,

a short report from Sweden. I talked to a urologist today.
Astra seems to have done a good job, informing uros and GPs about Muse. He had already started writing prescriptions...but, there is NO MUSE yet in the Swedish pharmacies. He said that Astra expected delivery within a couple of weeks.

My guess is that the Swedish medical authorities demand FDA approval.
Anyway, the Swedish pipeline is still completely empty, so there is no patient response information or scripts numbers yet.

Hopefully, the FDA approval will speed up Astra's launch in several new countries.

Regards
ps
