What will the FDA do?? After a brief discussion with my neighbor, keep in mind he does not work on the Viagra Drug and his knowledge about the deaths is no greater than what we have heard in the media. His take is that it was probably due to the combination of the drugs as stated in the news. THe only recall that he could envision is if the warning labels are not posted large enough on the label or maybe in a secondary position. IT is possible that the FDA could order a recall on all VIagra to be relabeled with a larger warning a or more forceful warning. Keep in mind this is only a possibility and should not be taken as any type of guarantee. Many drugs cause death in combination with others but they are not pulled off the market. Any comments or suggestions in that vane are misleading and misguided.Granted none of us truly know what the future will hold. Dr. Andrews
