VVUS cannot give out samples.... If you have ever worked in a doctors office you will understand what a BIG deal this is...
The talking heads wont mention this.....


Vivus will at first offer the pill only through mail order, so doctors can't sell it directly, said Dr. Barbara Troupin, Vivus' vice president of scientific communications and risk management.

"There will not be dispensing from doctors' offices," she said. "Seeing that issue and what has happened in fad and diet drugs in the past, that is not a path that we're going to be taking."


Here is a doctor on Yahoo talking about what a pain in the ass the VVUS drug is going to be and why its a loser.
