My pharmacist told me that in his pharmacy he is seeing new customers coming in for Viagra. But the customers that were coming in for MUSE prior to Viagra, continue to come in for MUSE. On another matter, I am sure that you folks have come across a generic ad in TIME by PFE talking about ED without mentioning Viagra by name. They tell the reader that if they have a ED condition they should see their doctor as ED is now a treatable disease. What is interesting is that PFE is passing on the liability for recommending Viagra to the doctors. Even a mention of Viagra in their ad would possibly drag them into a lawsuit. SO BETTER PLAY IT SAFE? Isn't PFE willing to stand behind their drug? Chinmoy
