PROFILE |
 |
Viagra jokes undoubtedly fall flat around the offices of VIVUS, which develops "other" treatments for erectile dysfunction. The company's first product, MUSE, is a small, single-use disposable plastic applicator that dispenses the drug alprostadil to increase blood flow in the penis. Its other marketed product is ACTIS, a fully adjustable penile band that temporarily helps correct venous leak (a cause of erectile dysfunction). Products in development include ALISTA, for female sexual dysfunction, as well as treatments for premature ejaculation and various urologic disorders. To help regain market share lost to Viagra, the company has contracted with Abbott Laboratories to market MUSE overseas.
