- Highest specification ever for a new pharmaceutical product over a 9 month period
- Non-injectable ED specification expanded 848% in 1998 as compared to 1997
- Viagra captured 95% of total 1998 ED Rxs and 98% of all ED Rxs since launch
- Weekly New Rx Viagra specification peaked in the 2nd quarter, while Viagra Refill Rxs reached its highest level during the last week of 1998
