<<Black boxing of Viagra does not tell PCPs there is a MUSE to use as an alternative.>> Edderd, No it doesn't but answer this: 1)Are that many PCPs so lazy and/or stupid that they are unwilling to brush up a bit on erectile dysfunction now that with Viagra they have become the primary doctor for treating ED? 2)Would the Black Boxing of Viagra cause their little pea brains to think, "Wow, that Viagra can be dangerous stuff, I wonder what else is out there that I can offer my at risk patients who inquire about Viagra but really should avoid it." The AMA is now claiming that there is a glut of doctors in the US yet many of the doctors complain that they don't have enough time to spend with their patients. So which is it or is the medical system in the US just plained screwed up where profits take precedent to quality medicine????
