<<How ridiculous , I haven,t even heard of a death in years from a bleeding ulcer.Your point that all drugs are
inherently dangerous is valid.
Cause and effect between Viagra and these deaths may not be as difficult to prove as some suspect.It is now
assumed these 6 patients were old and infirm but the details of each occurence may show something else
entirely.Further detailed examination of each event is necessary.>>

Gene, the dangers of aspirin are very real. For the layman, there was a report on one of the major networks, just recently, about the dangers of PHS inhibitors (e.g. aspirin). The Vaigra events in the last day answers all the questions of dangerous side effects.
