Big KNY3, Viagra news from the British Medical Association only confirms what Humana and Prudential said yesterday: Britain and the US do not have the cash to test every sedentary, smoking, inactive,obese and impotent male for coronary artery disease so as to fit Pfizer's guidelines " don't give Viagra to somebody who takes/needs nitroglycerin ". The people with coronary artery disease
are equal to or even exceed those with ED ( my guestimate, I don't have stats handy right now but if you press me I guess I'll have to dig them up; but I am close I think, . We simply don't have the cash. Not unless you want your HMO fees to double.

More important though is the side effects. Just because there is no proof ( yet ), ( as in the Simpson case, gg ), doesn't mean it won't be forth coming. I can definitely assure you that docs do a much better job at R&D than the LA Police Dept!!!

Got an Advertising perspective from Pfizer today in the mail. Basically summarizes the approach that Pfizer is going to use in marketing Viagra. They are also providing a toll-free information line(1-888-4-VIAGRA) and a website viagra.com for patients, partners, and healthcare professionals.
