What makes you think it was a side effect? What are the chances that the guy was just going to have a heart attack that day, regardless of Viagra and regardless of sex?

Just so long as PFE doesn't higher McDonald's coffee lawyers.

Pfizer Plans 200 Million-Punt Extension to Cork Viagra Plant

Bloomberg News
July 17, 1998, 4:35 a.m. ET

Dublin, July 17 (Bloomberg) -- Pfizer Inc. is planning a
200 million-punt ($280 million) extension to its plant in
Ringaskiddy, Cork, which makes a key element of the impotence
drug Viagra, the Irish Times said. The new project would create
around 100 permanent jobs in the plant, which currently
employs 320, the paper said. The expansion program must still
be approved by the board of Pfizer, which is based in New
York, though the decision to apply for planning permission
indicates management in Ireland is confident the project
will get the go-ahead, the report said.

Foreign companies are attracted to Ireland by a low 10
percent manufacturing tax, government grants and a highly
educated English-speaking workforce.
