Turkish Cypriot State Approves Sale Of Viagra July 13, 1998 12:12 PM NICOSIA (AP)--The self-declared Turkish Cypriot state announced Monday it has approved the sale of the male potency pill Viagra, saying there was "intense demand" for the drug. "Viagra, which is on the world's agenda, has attracted a lot of demand in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," said Ertugrul Hasipoglu, who serves as health minister in the breakaway northern third of the divided island. He said a prescription would be required and that import and sales would be conducted under the ministry's strict control. Viagra, produced by Pfizer Inc (PFE), can legally be bought in only a few European nations. Turkey, on which the Turkish Cypriots rely heavily on for trade, has not yet licensed the drug, whose side effects include an incompatibility with some heart drugs. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration is looking into the cases of 31 men who died after reportedly taking the drug.
