Pfizer still maintains that Viagra is a safe drug and is not a precipitating cause of coronaries in men with CDV. They still maintain that it has been the stress of sex and not their beloved chemical called sildenafil that is causing numerous deaths and heart attacks among its patients. So why is it that private pharmaceutical company just filed a US patent application to have its drug used in combination with Viagra to "allow persons with heart disease to use the popular Pfizer anti-impotence drug"? biz.yahoo.com I am confused. This companies drug, called Esprolol, is said to be a beta-blocker that "lessens heart rate and blood pressure during physical exertion." Oh boy that sure sounds like a real life saver to me. Add ANOTHER hypotensive drug so you can really kill the CVD patient. Now the paramedic can add a little nitro to the patient who is already on high blood pressure medication, has CVD and took a pill that has both Viagra and Esprolol in it which both have further hypotensive effects. Just think if the poor guy takes a sauna or whirlpool bath with his wife just after taking his Viagra/Esprolol. It just ceases to amaze me.
