Research Suggests a Connection Between Viagra and Melanoma
Two Alabama men who allegedly developed melanoma due to their use of Viagra are now seeking damages from the drug’s maker, Pfizer Inc. The Huntsville Times reports that in two separate federal lawsuits, the men are claiming that the company was negligent in its production, testing and marketing of the erectile dysfunction drug. Their cases could soon be consolidated with those of 29 other men, who make similar allegations regarding the dangers of Viagra and the negligence of its producer.
Research supports the men’s claims that there is a connection between Viagra and melanoma. One study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which followed over 25,000 people, found that the risk of invasive melanoma was significantly higher for those taking Viagra. Likewise, a German study indicated that the cellular mechanism of action of Viagra may directly contribute to the growth and spread of melanoma. Unfortunately, Pfizer continues to deny the validity of these findings and the risks of its widely used drug.
