Ed, So how do the new and repeat scrips look like in your practice (or whatever you call it) look at the moment? If you are so confident that you have not checked this out, what gives you this confidence. Please don't say that you are too busy writing viagra scripts, this is not helpful. DaiS

Ed, I am tired of all the bs free press given to Viagra over the past 4 months. There is only one reason that MUSE sales are low and that is Viagra. And I do have a problem with Viagra being scripted to men with other health problems. IMO just asking if a patient is on nitrates before writing a prescription is poor medicine at best. If a patient comes into the doctors office asking for Viagra because of impotence it is the doctor's responsibility to search for the underlying cause of the ED BEFORE picking up the prescription pad. There are too many lazy doctors out there wanting to charge their office call and do little more than write a script. This laziness is also a negative for MUSE since it actually takes some time and effort to properly advise and instruct the patient in proper use.
