Linda, Good work, but I don't consider #3 that important. You said: > 3 -- People will go to Mexico to buy drugs from other countries, when the drug isn't approved in their country. For example, people in the US buy drugs in Mexico for that reason and for other reasons < SOME people will go to Mex. to buy drugs, but more people will not than will. I would not go to another country to buy any drug that was not approved in the U.S. for safety reasons. On another note, I am planning to go to a therapists' institute on Modern Sex Therapy in Dallas next month at a Family Therapists conference. The speaker will address Viagra. Should be interesting. Nancy

Linda, To: Nancy McKinney (5725 ) From: Linda Kaplan Tuesday, Sep 29 1998 10:48AM ET Reply # of 5731 >You're right, Nancy. Except for three thoughts that come to mind. 1 -- If people can't afford the pills, then they wouldn't have bought at the beginning and then stopped. They just wouldn't have bought. If sales dramatically went down from the first month, it could be because the drug wasn't good enough to buy a second time.< Maybe. That's one variable. But sales went down in products all over the world recently for economic reasons. One month is only one month. >2 -- Vasomax was available at a big sale price in Mexico, so it was a lot cheaper there than Viagra, for example. If Viagra is selling there, then people are finding the money in Mexico for Viagra, at a higher price than Vasomax. So, money alone wouldn't be the issue for any dramatic decrease in Vasomax sales in Mexico.< Sure. But has Viagra been on the market there longer than Vasomax? Does it has an established reputation? Any new drug takes a while to get around. Nancy
