[Roche's] Withdrawn drug dangerous with Viagra Monday June 8 6:10 PM EDT WASHINGTON, June 8 (UPI) - The maker of the just-withdrawn heart drug Posicor tells United Press International (Monday) that the drug's interaction with the impotence pill Viagra could be dangerous, and says he wonders why the Food and Drug Administration is not noting the link publicly. Roche Laboratories says it ''was very upfront with the FDA'' about the Viagra-Posicor danger before announcing the withdrawal, but an FDA spokesperson could not explain why Viagra was not on its list of drugs to be avoided in conjunction with Posicor. dailynews.yahoo.com
