Lilly's Cialis Looks Like Winner

Cialis could top Viagra sales by 2006
report in a new pharmaceutical journal says that by early 2006, Cialis - the rival drug developed by Bothell-based ICOS Corp. - could overtake Pfizer Inc.'s Viagra as the most popular erectile dysfunction drug in the United States.
Fritz Krieger, editor of the Journal of Longitudinal Data, makes that prediction in an article for the publication's first issue this month.
"Cialis appears to be the main threat to Viagra," Krieger wrote in his article titled "E.D. Wars."
"Its 36-hour active life," he continued, "and the fact that it does not interact with high-fat foods or alcohol to the extent Viagra does, are both advantages bound to propel the drug to category leadership."
