According to a recent Viagra lawsuit against pharmaceutical giant, Pfizer, the prolonged use of Viagra can significantly increase one’s chances of developing melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. Viagra is a drug that is widely used to treat erectile dysfunction. The plaintiff, the surviving spouse of a deceased Viagra user in Minnesota, claims that her husband’s death resulted from him developing melanoma after using Viagra.
Prior to the use of the drug, the man had no signs or diagnosis of ever being at risk for skin cancer. His widow claims that Pfizer knew the drug could double the risk of developing melanoma and still continued to promote Viagra to the public without informing them of the hidden dangers. The lawsuit also alleges that Pfizer aggressively marketed this product in a clearly misleading and confusing way to men.

Link Between Viagra and Skin Cancer Alleged
Although Viagra is often highly touted as a treatment for erectile dysfunction, many lawsuits have been filed against Pfizer that allege skin cancer as a side effect of Viagra, and that the drug maker failed to disclose risks of melanoma associated with Viagra use.
Studies have shown that Viagra can double the chances of patients developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Injured Patients May Be Entitled to Compensation
Patients who took Viagra and developed melanoma may be entitled to compensation, including medical expenses, loss of income, past and future pain and suffering, and scarring from melanoma or its treatment. If a Viagra patient is killed by skin cancer, his family members may be able to pursue claims for wrongful death damages, including mental anguish and pain and suffering from the loss of a loved one, conscious pain and suffering of a loved one prior to death, and loss of financial support.
