alien...hey the English , French and Germans all love their dogs... No way are they going to sell Viagra over the counter.....put it on the shelves next to their pet food..... It's going to be a reviewed with greater detail than the FDA did in the USA..... Cost to National Health Services will be a major issue as well..... Warning...do not feed blue pills to your pets.. ....

AT Not to nit pick here, but would you please stop referring to these gentlemen as "old farts"?? They are referred to as "older men trying to revive what has been lost" (or simply patients) when they use MUSE..and "old farts" when they use Viagra. Not a big deal, but I think I can relate to someone trying to better a medical situation and don't think derrogartory terms are appropriate. You are right about giving Viagra to anyone who wants it. So when will PFE, Pharmacists and Doctors (out of fear for their pocketbooks) start requiring a notorized release before prescribing Viagra to patients? The same release you would sign to bungee jump or sky dive might be required just to take this medication. What a bother...and an eye opener. As to rights...yes, people have the right to have all the consensual sex they want whenever they want ...but also, they have the right to be informed as to the risks involved. And yes, dieing is a big deal. Just ask the loved ones of those men. Bottom line is...PFE has been heartless where their Viagra product has been concerned. Vivus will still reap the benifit from this. Sad that it takes so many deaths to cause this since Muse was there all along, safe and effective, albeit a litle less convenient. Me? I'd love to see VVUS make it on it's own merits. I'd like to see the company make this a $20 stock without another company buying them out. There is so much positive and so much potential to this company. Yes, there are negatives, but they are not with the product. I think we could fix our problems alot easier than PFE will be able to fix Viagra. Sorry...my meds must not be kicking in this morning yet! <g> Rambling on is not what I intended to do this morning..but what the heck...I was past due. I hope everyone has a wonderful day! E'Lane...
