IMO the dr's who prescribed viagra to known cardiac patients should be sued and lose their shorts. The FDA should also be found at fault for allowing Viagra to be approved on a fast track basis without fully examining it's potential side effects. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that any drug, especially in pill form, that claims to enhance sexual performance would cause the demand that viagra has shown. The FDA examiners should have spent more time reviewing data and less time being wined and dined by PFE. Now the FDA is scrambling to cover their asses. Good luck.

If I were the wife of one of those viagra victims, I wouldn't stop until viagra was pulled from the pharmacy shelves. Why don't we just legalize prostitution in all states? The risks may be equal.

vlad........a less radical senerio.....some major.foreign countries hold back approval of Viagra for an extended period of time while Viagra is still sold in the USA..

That gives MUSE a bigger market while the debate on Viagra goes on in the USA

At minimum FDA and other countries should request additional testing and additional disclosure be included with Viagra packaging.

Other countries may not be as eager to approve Viagra till more is known......
