MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA --June 9, 1999 -- Vivus, Inc.'s and Astra GmbH's Muse(R) (alprostadil) is now available in Germany for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Germany is the third largest pharmaceutical market in the world behind the United States and Japan, with an estimated four to six million men (10 to 15 percent of the male population) with erectile dysfunction. Muse will be marketed to urologists, general practitioners and gynaecologists.

Muse is a pre-filled, single-use, plastic applicator containing a micro-suppository of the drug alprostadil, a medication that increases penile blood flow. The stem of the applicator is inserted approximately one inch into the urethra where the medication is released. Muse is a departure from existing therapies for erectile dysfunction, based on the discovery that certain medications can be absorbed by the urethra and transported into the surrounding erectile tissues.
