<<Viagra Death>> globalchange.com 30 Viagra deaths reported officially by 4 July 1998 world-wide. True total will be many more. For example I have been sent an e-mail from a friend of a widow who said that her husband had died shortly after taking Viagra, but she was too embarrassed to tell the doctors, so the death was recorded as "natural causes". Since many older people are taking Viagra, it is hard to tell apart a Viagra death from a coidence. It may take a decade for the Viagra picture to develop, but even then it will be incomplete because death during or immediately after sex is hard enough for a bereaved partner to talk about without having to drag up the fact that this was a super-charged Viagra-induced event. Various sources. 6 July 1998 The Medicines Control Agency today (29 June 1998) issued the following statement to clarify the UK legal position on the sale and supply of Viagra (Sildenafil): "Viagra is an unlicensed medicinal product in the UK and can only be sold or supplied to an individual patient via a prescription by a doctor. "A doctor can only supply the product for a patient under his care, where a clinical need has been identified. As with all unlicensed medicinal products, it is prescribed on a named patient basis - on the doctor's personal responsibility. "Any other form of retail sale or supply of Viagra, including advertising, is a criminal offence under the Medicines Act 1968. The MCA is currently investigating illegal trading and advertising Activities and will take action against traders. "Viagra is a powerful medicinal product and should only be used in accordance with the directions of a doctor. People run very real risks with their health if they obtain it from other sources such as mail order or the Internet, and take it without the direction of a doctor. We strongly advise against buying Viagra this way." A Special Enquiry Unit has been set up by the MCA's Enforcement division. A telephone line to supply the unit with confidential information is available on 00 44 (0) 171 273 0617. Blindness reported following Viagra without medical supervision. Saudi Gazette 18 June 1998 Hungary bans all Viagra sales. Industry Express MarketLetter 29 June 1998 More Viagra warnings: don't take it with GTN (glyceryl trinitrate or any other medically prescribed nitrate - heart pills). Viagra lowers blood pressure.
