Anthony- What an amazing standard the Phar. Co's. are held to for reporting any possible problems, including rumor/hearsay. From your article- <Pfizer (PFE) said it is required to report every possible case of an adverse event, and some instances are listed in the FDA's database more than once because the same incident may have been reported by different people. "We get our reports from our sales reps, individual physicians and hospitals and we also process news reports," said Andy McCormick, a Pfizer spokesman. For example, the database lists four cases of blindness in West Virginia. McCormick said the reports came from a salesperson who heard it from an osteopath, who heard that four men went blind while taking the drug. The company had to file the report within 15 days, according to FDA guidelines and couldn't find any additional information about the situation.> Even with this almost irrational reporting for the 2.6 million Rx's written to date there are only 101 possible tangential reports!!! The FDA is content and believes Viagra very safe. Nicely done! Thanks for the post! Solid
