>>In other words men who are candidates for coronaries need to decide if Viagra is more important than being saved from a heart attack--apparently the FDA thinks so. << Did you read the article on the first HIV infection that is not effective with protese inhibitors? It seems his boy fried who was infected and has tried 8 different cocktails did not seem prudent to continue with taking his medications on time causing mutations in his HIV invaders and then passing this on to his loved one. Now when you read about things like this you wonder... at least with a heart attck you just fall over and die.. Here you loose all your hair first. The fonz is going to turn over in his grave!

betty, Here is some more facts to shake your head at. Looking at the number of men having used MUSE and Viagra we have a ratio of deaths more than 10 times higher on the Viagra side. And Pfizer still maintains Viagra is safe. And the FDA still maintains it is safe. And the PFE holders say this body count is "normal" for men having sex--but never account for the much higher death rate with Viagra. IMO the safety issues will eventually catch up with the hype. It's all a matter of time, money and politics. I am a patient man.
