RCM, I guess the AP news release might tell you something about what may make the FDA think long and hard about what to do with Viagra. All I can say is that my source told me that there was mounting public pressure to pull or at least relabel Viagra and that the comission was seriously evaluating the information on the deaths and the many adverse cases. I believe that the lawyers may force a voluntary withdrawl before the FDA gets around to taking action. As I said before our male dominated society takes precident of a longer and better erection over death and blindness. The big money has a lot of clout over practicality and who knows if members from the FDA get fat brown envelopes from Pfizer to keep blabbering that Viagra is a safe drug.
