The PFE Response to the Lancet Letter

PFIZER INC. said there was no evidence that its impotence drug Viagra caused heart attacks or strokes. In response to a letter sent by doctors to the Lancet magazine outlining the case of a 65-year-old Dutch man who died 30 minutes after taking the drug, Pfizer said: "To date over three million men have been prescribed approximately 35 million Viagra tablets. This experience provides a consistent picture of the safety of Viagra when used appropriately." Pfizer noted
the doctors writing in the Lancet stated it was unclear to what extent
pre-existing coronary artery disease may have contributed to the onset of a heart attack in the patient.
