Viagra melanoma attorneys note a lawsuit filed against Pfizer, the makers of Viagra, alleging that the drug maker failed to disclose Viagra risks. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that the failure to disclose a link between the drug and melanoma resulted in the death of a Minnesota man who was unaware that Viagra could cause the potentially deadly skin cancer.

Study Shows Increased Risk of Melanoma for Viagra Users
According to the Viagra complaint, a study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that patients who take Viagra have an 84% increased risk of developing melanoma. The study also showed that the risk of melanoma doubled in patients who had ever taken Viagra compared to those who had never used the drug.
According to the lawsuit:
Despite these significant findings, [the] defendant has made no efforts in its Viagra advertisements to warn users about the potential risk of developing melanoma that has been scientifically linked to the drug.
Moreover:
[The] Defendant purposefully downplayed, understated and ignored the melanoma-related health hazards and risks associated with using Viagra.
Injured Patients May Be Entitled to Compensation
If a patient develops melanoma after taking Viagra, he may be entitled to compensation for damages resulting from his injury, which may include medical expenses, scarring or disfigurement from melanoma or its treatment, loss of income, and pain and suffering.
If a patient dies from melanoma after taking Viagra, his family members may be able to pursue wrongful death damages, including pain, suffering, and mental anguish resulting from the loss of a loved one, conscious pain and suffering of a loved one prior to death, loss of financial support, and funeral expenses.
