mc: You'd know this if you read this thread. The rest of us, who have read the thread, know it from biodoc's postings from the PDR. You'll note that the CEO did NOT say this in this article. Anonymous analysts were quoted as having said it. We've discussed this in this thread several times.

Viagra is contraindicated for those on nitrates.
According to the PDR Vasomax is contraindicated for those with coronary heart disease and history of myocardial infarction.

Are nitrates used to treat other problems besides heart problems?
What percent of heart patients are given nitrates as treatment?

It seems to me that if the contraindications noted in the PDR hold up that the Vasomax contraindications could actually be worse than Viagra's because it would include all people who have suffered myocardial infarction, not just those being treated with nitrates.

Thanks,
Gary
