You're currently waiting under Health/Pharmacy/Drugs_and_Medications/V (for vardenafil) since the purpose of the site appears to be to eventually give people information about a specific drug -- Levitra (vardenafil HCl). The ED information given is very minor and non-unique (like giving information about depression or anxiety on an anti-depressant web site).

Thank you for the response. How long is the queue or is it a matter of creating the category for vardenafil? Do you think it would be considered for this category

http://www.dmoz.org/Top/Health/Pharmacy/Drugs_and_Medications/L/

for Levitra? Since that category doesn't exist, I can't submit the site to it. Sorry to pepper this post with so many questions. I am a first timer and the process is all very interesting to me.

Thanks!

Neil

The backlog isn't too big in that area of the directory but it could still take a month or two (you can come back to this thread to ask after a month or more has passed). No, the site won't be listed directly under L since we try to list by the generic drug name not the brand name. If/when a category is made for the generic drug name, it will also be @linked to under L as Levitra.

Your site is currently sitting in the most appropriate category so don't resubmit it there or anywhere else.

It was rejected for not containing sufficient drug information -- one can only sign up for an email list to get more info later on. Once the site has a decent amount of information about the drug on it (which will most likely be after the drug has been released in the US), you can resubmit it to that category. In its current state, it won't be listed.

The drug information can be found in the press releases that are added to the site frequently. With the impending release of the drug, it is important to have the only site in the US by/from the actual manufacturer in the directory. The site serves to make a distinction from other sites that are not governed by the FDA and possibly publishing false or questionable information. Is there any way to overturn this rejection?
