TUNA, Remember, it takes a bit of time for a good lawyer to prepare a good case. Get a few MDs as "expert" witnesses to claim that for example Pfizer did no studies that proved that Viagra was safe when used concurrently with Drug X. Pfizer needs to be held responsible for any deaths associated with concurrent use of other medications. Just because the FDA says it is OK doesn't mean that it is OK. The FDA needs to be held accountable also. It's not as if Viagra was a vital medication in the first place. The FDA individuals making the decisions need to stop hiding behind the government and need to be held accountable. Viagra has its place in ED therapy but should not be used in conjunction with many meds that were never tested in clinical trials. If Pfizer and the FDA really cared about human life they would label Viagra stating contraindications relating to men on any type of cardiovascular drug. Other drug companies have pulled drugs off the market where deaths were far fewer and at least as questionable as to the cause. What makes Viagra any different?
