<<<Woosley is especially concerned with Viagra's potential interaction with various blood pressure medications. Viagra does lower blood pressure and in combination with certain other drugs may lower blood pressure too much.
This did not show up with the several thousand who took part in the trials, but it looks like
it is occuring with some of the several million who are taking Viagra on the market. Many
of the reports
Woosley saw mentioned that patients were taking various blood pressure pills. >>>

Is it not just common sense that some of the men taking Viagra who have died will also be taking blood pressure medication since the target age group is over 50 yr? The question is how many people taking Viagra, who have NOT experienced side effects, are on the heart medications this Dr. Woosley mentions and is apparently concerned about. If this were known then the proper question would be why these men did not experience side effects. One obvious conclusion would be that something was special to the individuals who died, that may be totally unrelated to Viagra. However, as the good Dr. states data in this area of medicine are so poor it is ahrd to be definitive one way or the other. I'll bet that viagra is a very safe drug and the public will see that it is after all the hype.

BTW Anthony did you happen to find the Rx data foor this week? It must be out since one of your earlier posts spoke of Rezulin and it's continued rise of market share.
