Mkilloran and Laurens, thanks for the clarification. Am I correct in thinking that individual E.U. member states would launch Viagra at different dates? If that is the case, I presume that the UK would not delay their Viagra launch, seeing that the drug was discovered by British scientists, and reports so far from UK indicated that their medical profession are generally very supportive when discussing the drug, and are all for early approval to curb black market sales. In an earlier BBC report (August 25): Approximately 120 men have died after taking the drug in the US. They ignored warnings that Viagra can be dangerous if taken in combination with drugs for heart disease. However Derek Machin, clinical director of urology at University Hospital, Aintree, welcomed EC backing for the drug. Mr Machin, who warned at the British Medical Association annual conference that the NHS could be overrun by demand for Viagra, said: "I have used it on a few patients and the results are extemely encouraging."
