SB,
Thanks.
My own opinion, (and that is all any of us have) is Femprox is far from dead. Because I believe in pharmaceutical properties of drug. That is why big Pharma is here for Vitaros.
It's only a matter of time.
Hope I have the intestinal fortitude and live long enough.
RVL
SB,
The extreme swings from positive to negative to positive opinions on product viability and future of company based on limited intel we have available make it difficult to believe in your posts.
RVL
Oops, left something out.
SB,
If you were ambassador to Canada, we'd likely be at war.
RVL
SB & DG,
Great to see you two at it again.
It has been boring.
Social,
Geez, just a little bit of speculation on current status and management's confidence in Femprox.
My own desire is that the company plays chess, not checkers, and times any deal with Femprox to maximize shareholder return.
If that involved waiting for an event to occur (for months) because it will provide significant leverage in partnering because of certainty of value increasing variable, I will happily wait.
My opinion.
Others will want to pull the trigger prematurely because of long wait and justified impatience with progress.
RVL
From a sales perspective, I hope Vitaros is not a cure for ED. From a scientific perspective V does not cure, but does work from "event" to "event"
And, speaking Casino....
He never answered my question:
"Casino,
In reviewing your posts, you have been here since early 2012 as a normal poster.
Posted, "I am long 86500 shares at 5.11 Avg. I hope I am not in deep trouble. Been in since March 0f 2011."
Then in the July 2012, your posts became increasing negative until today your posts are just blurts of baseless bashing.
Are you a bitter Long who is so upside down you don't care or are you a short who was misleading us all early, then came out with your real motive?
You usually don't respond, I am curious?
Please don't delete this post.
It's not negative. Just trying to understand perspectives and motives. "
RVL
LB,
I think Pascoe did great job, and appreciate his ability to communicate. We have never had a believable/capable leader with the ability to represent company.
We have something concrete to "Sell" to new investors.
Vitaros Launches + Sales paired with APRI exposure = increased PPS.
Once this this actually occurs, the promise of Rayva and Femprox become more believable and I believe we ramp up PPS. The timing, emotion, economic environment, and math will determine how high
But, we need sales success as event to be the trigger.
RVL
Lurk,
In reviewing your comments from the last year, I have a question.
Every comment is negative regarding present and future.
If you don't believe in the stock, why are here on APRI blog?
I know if I think a stock is a dud, I spend no time on it.
I have to question your intentions.

Eicoman,
I am literally betting you are right.
They saved the best for last.
I believe that is why there was no mention of Femprox in most recent communication and why Exec team is presenting at Canacord meeting after conference call.
Totally a hunch.
RVL
SB,
Thanks I needed that,
but I know "WE" can do better
RVL
Ok, I admit it.... I miss the constant bickering.
Where did everyone go.
Hopefully, you were all busy cashing in your savings so you can invest everything you own in APRI.
We'll see in the next week.
RVL
Ok, looks we will have something concrete to entice investors and now is finally the time to communicate.
Unless there is a Big announcement, then 3am wake up call makes sense
Geez Shazam, I hope Apricus does better than the Chargers will do in the 3rd and 4th Quarter of 2014.
Go Dolphins!!!
If this is a "dark pool", I don't believe it is Institutional buying $$$ are too small.
If there was coordination of buying and selling, must be individuals
DCT,
Hope you're right.
I have "bet the farm" on big news regarding Femprox.
Rick
SB,
I am pretty much where you are with attitude toward buying / holding APRI.
I, too have been buying cautiously at 1.92 - 2.03.
Reason is that I am suspicious (in a positive way) about the lack of information regarding Femprox in 7/16 presentation.
The only reason too NOT include Femprox at this point would be impending news of a positive nature.
Otherwise, Management would have included the SOS slides that have bee used in past.
Oddly, I hope I am kicking myself for being so conservative and not buying more at these levels when announcement does come out.
RVL
You're right. If you're in a small cap biotech unless you have no fear of losing big and/or a cast iron stomach this is not the place to invest. PPS moves erratically and appears to be manipulated up and down.
APRI has a product (actually two) that work and has huge sales potential. That's why I am here and will remain here. In the end the product will be a success.
Hopefully, that will turn into $$ for us all.
LB & DG,
Ok you guys, PPS is down. We're all irritated. Near as I can tell both of you want PPS to increase. Do research, communicate, and let's try to make some $. Keep it clean.
SB,
Thanks for sharing.
Video is certainly well done.
Can we post this to You tube?
RVL.
Here we go.
Geez, these "off with their heads" posts are absolutely correlated with downward trends in PPS.
Pile on, drive PPS down and I will buy more.
PPS goes up. Bashers go away.
Works for me..
Anyone else noticing the sea of Biotech Red?
Almost doesn't matter which one you look at in last 30 days, there have been huge drops in PPS (unless there was a specific stimulus).
However, I am finding the ongoing attack and rebuttal interesting here as the Biotech wide lowering of PPS (which APRI is part of) creates anxiety in some of us longs and an opportunity for skeptics and shorts.
Don't agree with your opinions, but thanks for the Formulary link. See below.
Read it. It really demonstrates the advance exposure that Vitaros had to have (implemented by Takeda). Drug was requested by doc, presented and approved by formulary committee that meets every two months and is on formulary this early after launch. Typical process.
"Additions to the Formulary
The addition of new drugs to the formulary, and consequently to pharmacy stock, will be made only with the agreement of the Medicines Management Committee. In order to request an addition to the formulary, a New Drug Submission form must be completed in full and supporting evidence attached.
In addition, a submission form must be completed for any new indications for an existing formulary medicine.
New drug applications must be received (appropriately completed and signed) in pharmacy at least 2 weeks before the date of a Medicines Management Committee meeting in order for the item to be included in the agenda. Medicines Management committee meetings are held every 2 months (usually the 3rd Wednesday of that month between 12.30-2.30) "
DG,
Social is correct.
I believe the demand for the drug by physicians and/or patients has resulted in Vitaros being added to commercial Formularies.
This is ABSOLUTELY great. It really shows me Takeda is doing their job.
This takes a product that can only be accessed through cash money, to one that is covered typically with a co-pay or co-insurance.
For those of you with commercial insurance, think of drugs you use.
If a "life style" drug and is not on formulary, you are VERY unlikely to use because of cost. If drug is on formulary, if you are aware of drug and formulary status, you would likely request prescription for drug from your physician.
If not on formulary, you and/or you physician would petition to add to formulary.
I am VERY pleased that Takeda has obviously worked hard to put us in this position and am even happier that I bought more APRI around $2.00.
RVL
Meco,
nice find.
Thanks
RVL
What website?
Eman
I agree with your conclusion in your 7/3/14 message.
Actually could be more than two are the same.
Thank you for article.
RVL
LB,
I only see mention of a "Late2014" availability on website.
Is there more information than website?
RVL
Wouldn't be the first time a new poster shows up, posts his/her brains out, then in the end bashes company/product/management then disappears.
By the way I am an Astronaut
To me, old poster or new.
I am more likely to believe someone who posts facts and shares information. Rather than provides us their unrequested opinion.
RVL
Well said
I don't know the answer to any of your questions. Maybe there was another package shipped wrong that did get reported.
The person is Kelly Gomm from Takeda QA.
Email is: Kelly.Gomm@takeda.com
See for yourself
Here is reply from Takeda QA from this afternoon.
Dear RVL,
I have not yet heard anything from “Cartonet” but we have been doing our own research here regarding this issue and have discovered that a patient in Spain appears to have ordered Vitaros from an online pharmacy called Pharmacy2U. The product took five days to reach the patient and when it eventually arrived all the ice was melted and it was warm and wet. We are raising this issue with Pharmacy2U and asking for a detailed response from them as it is a cold chain product subject to temperature controlled 2-8° transportation requirements.
Kind Regards
Kelly
Cartonet,
Ok, ball is in your court.
RVL
Dear RVL,
Many thanks for your email. We will wait to hear further from “Cartonet” then.
Kind Regards
Kelly
Cartonet,
Received you private message, couldn't reply.
But, Thanks for response.
Here is email I sent to Kelly Gorman at Takeda QA
Please go ahead and communicate directly.
"Kelly ,
Thank you for the quick response.
I will have the individual, "Cartonet" correspond with you directly.
If possible, I would appreciate learning about cause of defect and resolution.
Thank you.
RVL"
Relentless
Cartonet,
I believe best route is for you to speak directly with Takeda QA division.
The person answering my email is:
Kelly.Gomm@takeda.com
Can I reply to her and tell her you will contact her directly?
RVL
Ok I forwarded cartonet's complaint to takeda UK.
Note: at en of their response they have had no other complaints........
"Dear RVL,
Your complaint, as detailed below, has been forwarded to the Takeda UK QA department to action. Takeda UK are the MA holder for Vitaros in the UK and supply the product from our pre-wholesaler under 2-8° cold chain conditions.
In order for us to investigate this matter further, please can you confirm where you are based, how you ordered the product, who supplied it to you and the batch and expiry details.
I can confirm that this is the first product complaint we have received so far for Vitaros.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks
Kelly Gomm

This is a post on the iHub investor website for someone that attempted to buy and use Vitaros.
Name on board is Cartonet. Here is post.....
"I am sorry to say it did NOT work out.
Cold chain version is real trouble.... now I see why Abott not launching in Canada....
the thing got to me in bad shape , also the dispenser I was not that enthusiastic about....the plunger on the accudose did not go smoothly, it was very hard to press
and the liquid content a lot of it got stuck on the wall of th accudose, as I said it lookd like it got in bad shape due to temp issues
this is a major failure I am sorry to say"
My questions are:
Is this typical?
Do you have positive feedback that can be shared?
Sincerely,
A concerned investor/pharmacist
RVL"
