Sid, The highest dose of MUSE goes for about $23 and the lowest about $18. Viagra is about $9. Most MUSE purchases are covered by insurance(70%) vs 40% for Viagra. I believe the shorts have made the cost an over blown issue against Vivus. Most MUSE patients are older men with other health problems that probably have sex only once a week if that. The last article I read concerning black market Viagra in Japan claimed that men were paying up to $400/pill for Viagra. Doesn't sound like cost is that much of an issue.
