Claim: Pfizer Did Not Warn of Skin Cancer Risks Associated With Viagra
The National Institutes of Health estimates that approximately thirty million men in the United States suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). Pfizer markets Viagra worldwide as a means for men suffering from ED to recapture and improve their virility.
According to a recent Viagra complaint:
Several studies have linked the mechanism of action for Viagra to cell mutation cultivating melanomagenesis, or the creation of melanocytes, which develop into melanoma.
The study also found that if men had ever used Viagra, they had double the risk of developing melanoma compared to those who never used the drug.
Allegations in the complaint also state that:
[Pfizer] concealed material information related to melanoma development from potential Viagra users.
In the warnings the company includes in its commercials, online and print advertisements, [Pfizer] fails to mention any potential risk for melanoma development and/or exacerbation associated with Viagra use.
Patients May be Eligible for Compensation
Those who are injured by a drug may be entitled to compensation, or damages, resulting from their injuries. Damages can be based on a number of factors, including medical expenses, past and future pain and suffering, and scarring from an injury and its treatment. If a drug kills someone, his or her family members may be entitled to wrongful death damages, including mental anguish from the loss of a loved one, conscious pain and suffering of a loved one prior to death, and medical expenses attributable to the fatal injury.
