VIVUS' Muse reimbursed in Sweden

8 June 2003

US firm VIVUS has announced that the Swedish Pharmaceutical Benefits Board has approved the reimbursement of transurethral therapy for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. Muse (alprostadil), or BONDIL as it is called in Sweden, was licensed for the treatment of primary organic erectile dysfunction in Sweden in 1998.

"Important in this decision," said Terry Nida, vice president of corporate development and international marketing, "is the body of convincing evidence demonstrating the efficacy of Muse in patients with organic erectile dysfunction."
