thanks hilm....

aaah, vasomax.

they inflated the 60%,
though it isn't exactly
a number to promote.

i wasn't sure if it had been discussed...
so, i appreciate your input; what i find most
annoying is an almost pathological focus on viagra
related "news". the substance is irrelevant:
frivolous litigation, wild reports of sexual
predators, or as here, the alternative viagra...

the point is to ride the hype....
it's more than overdone, it's shameless.

NEW DRUG MAY COMPETE WITH VIAGRA

Saturday, August 08, 1998

Viagra, the fastest selling new drug in history, won't have the market to itself forever. Texas-based Zonagen Inc., announced it has asked the FDA for approval to sell its own product, Vasomax. The treatment for male erectile dysfunction is already sold in Mexico under the name Z-max.

Like Viagra, Vasomax enhances the blood flow to the penis. Other drug companies are also rushing to get similar products to market. A joint venture between Takeda Chemical Industries of Japan and Abbott Laboratories, is working to develop a Parkinson's drug, apomorphine, as an erectile dysfunction drug.
