Report: Lawsuits Claim No Warning Given About Viagra and Melanoma Link
Men who take the performance-enhancing prescription drug Viagra are often aware of its potential to cause certain non-life-threatening side effects, but two studies are suggesting a link between the little blue pill and something far more serious. According to broadly.com, the fact that Viagra has been shown to increase a man’s risk of developing melanoma within 10 years by more than 84 percent is causing many to question why the drug remains so popular among American men.
According to one masculinities scholar and college professor, many men who take Viagra believe that the drug’s social benefits outweigh its health risks, a sentiment that is further driven home by popular culture. Often, a male’s “manliness” is linked to his sexual prowess and willingness to engage in risky behavior, further explaining why some continue to take a drug linked not only to skin cancer, but muscle pain and gastrointestinal distress. Currently, Viagra’s maker, Pfizer, is facing federal lawsuits from patients who allege the company failed to appropriately warn them about the link between the drug and melanoma, the website reports.
