RCMac right on with the PFE black box warning. I think the FDA will resist this at great lengths because the FDA of today is a politicized body and drug co contributions to the democratic party count a lot. So I think we will need to see many, I say many deaths,?400, ?500, before they pull the plug. Another reason that they will delay is because the use of a black box by the FDA will spell the death of Viagra.Reason is that Urologists who are drug-prescribing gun-shy to begin with ( prefer simple cutting, gg ) will steer clear of anything dangerous. So Viagra will have to be pulled screaming and yelling off the market. Thankfully though the market is not a contributor to the Democratic party and has spoken and will continue to speak out loud. It will similarly speak for Vivus to which I give a buy all the way up to $25 for the next 12 months, for the long term,with objective to double to $50 the following 12 months ( ie 24 months from now, should be 50 ) as soon as it is clear that it is THE BEST and SAFEST DRUG for ED, TA
