Brander,

<<Pfizer has never pushed the use of their product (Zoloft) for the
treatment in PE.>>

The premature ejeculatin patent relates to zoloft:
164.195.100.11
And it was granted in 1990!

OK Pfizer will generate earnings from the use of zoloft for treating PE since there cannot possibly be a PCP anywhere (let alone a specialist like you) unaware of it's application in treating PE.

But my puzzle is why do Pfizer not promote this use since is should massively increase earnings. We know that many men will not come forward for treatment unless they become aware of a cure ??

My conjecture is that it would probably be bad publicity for Pfizer to push what is regarded as an antidepressant for this use.

Well, Pentech do not agree with me for they have Prozac and Paxil in phase II for premature ejaculation.
