>>But Public Citizen discovered that manufacturer Pfizer Inc. had refused to admit into clinical trials of Viagra any men with certain heart-related conditions. Yet men with those same conditions are allowed to take the drug today, and some have suffered heart attacks or strokes. >> This is libellous, it cannot possibly be true

martin, Excellent article!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See how the big pharma game is played--the doctor puts the depressed guy on Zoloft ($$$$ for Pfizer) and then when the Zoloft makes him impotant he writes another prescription for Viagra ($$$$ for Pfizer). Only in America can we see such absolute stupidity involving patient health. But as long as the doctor can prescribe a pill for each malidy and as long as the big pharmacies make a ton of cash who gives a crap about sound medicine.

>>WASHINGTON (AP) - Many men may be taking Viagra to treat impotence that was caused by other pills such as antidepressants and blood pressure drugs, raising the question of whether some could be cured simply by adjusting their prescriptions. << WHAT ARE YOU NUTS???? How the heck is PFE going to make any money if they cant stick more pills to people everywhere? In fact this is the reason I am so AGAINST PFE! Most non essential drugs sucks! And to say the top 3 in the US are used cause you are unable to function in society shows where everyones heading. In fact this is what I got blasted on on the PFE thread for calling some of the doctors in there unethical quacks! for even thinking they can prescribe multiple prescriptions to cure causes caused by other drugs in the first place. Quacks is too nice a name to call these dic err doc's..
