At least 5 of the guys who died were on Hytrin.

Hytrin can be considered a drug frequently taken by many men with ED since it treats high blood pressure and prostrate disorders.

What studies did Pfizer conduct determining the safety of Viagra used concurrently with Hytrin?

Since Hytrin would be high on the list of drugs that an ED patient may be on, certainly Pfizer and the FDA made sure that this combination was safe.

Where can I see the research done on the Viagra/Hytrin combination? I just want to make sure that Pfizer and the FDA are doing their job to protect the public.

So far the excuses I have heard:
1)Guys would have eventually died anyway.
2)Viagra saves more lives than it takes.
3)You can't expect Pfizer/FDA to know about all the contraindications--there are just too many drugs out there to check
4)Sex is stressful and deaths during sex is to be expected.
5)Even if Viagra did kill those guys, 16 deaths out of 2 million men ain't too bad.
