Switzerland first European country to okay Viagra

Reuters, Monday, June 22, 1998 at 07:57

ZURICH, June 22 (Reuters) - Switzerland has become the first
European country to approve the impotency drug Viagra, U.S.
drugs maker Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) said on Monday.
A Pfizer statement promised more information at a news
conference on Wednesday in Zurich.
Whether the drug will be added to a list of medicines paid
for by Swiss health insurers must still be decided by government
insurance regulators, the Swiss news service SDA said.
Several Swiss pharmacies have already started selling Viagra
before its approval due to loopholes in drugs laws and have
reported a run on the drug, especially from neighbouring
countries such as Germany and Italy where Viagra has not been
authorised.
