Bloomberg is rehashing the Israel story this morning: srael's Health Ministry Halts Viagra Prescriptions, AP Says Bloomberg News May 26, 1998, 6:10 a.m. PT Israel's Health Ministry Halts Viagra Prescriptions, AP Says Jerusalem, May 26 (Bloomberg) -- Israel's top health regulators ordered doctors to halt prescriptions of Viagra after six deaths among users of the impotence pill were reported in the U.S. last week, the Associated Press said. Although Viagra manufacturer Pfizer Inc. has not yet applied for approval from Israel's health ministry since entering the market a few weeks ago, the pill has been available by prescription, the health ministry told the AP.
