<<A warning alluding to such a risk is on the label, but has not been widely publicized. >> They should say "but has not been widely publicized by the media in their rush to boost circulation/ratings with reports about Viagra that are long on sensationalism and fuzzy on facts." The FDA and PFE have made clear to prescribing physicians from the get go that NTG and Viagra are a potentially lethal mix and responsible physicians have been making the same point to patients. This is not new information but the media has gotten all the mileage it can from the "Sex Pill" stories. Now it is time for the "Sex Pill Kills" stories. Please excuse my cynicism but the media really have problems doing objective reports on medical matters. Just look at Entremed.
