I also foresee supply problems for the product as international sales ramp up. Remember, even though many countries are MUSE approved, few actually have a rollout to date. When this occurs, will Vivus be able to handle demand? I believe VVUS management foresees this as well, hence the new Ireland plant. Mike

Vlad, This point about Vivus being a one product company. A huge drug company that makes its money by selling a variety of pills that people put in their mouths and swallow could be said to be a one product company on this basis. Stretching an analogy a lot perhaps, but Vivus does have this patent on one hole in the human body, and with Alibra it does have > one pill. Does the incontinence treatment work with a similar pill - I don't know? What about treating other things through the penis? I don't know? As Edderd said a couple of days back, we need some actor or celeb to say it ain't a great deal putting a pill in your penis. IMO for sure there will be better drugs and combinations to put in the penis for erections and other things - much better than putting it in the mouth and swallowing it and getting it all over the body, how crude and primitive.
