Report: Millions of Men May Be at Risk for the Development of Melanoma
The FDA has announced that it will begin an evaluation to decide whether the medication Viagra, which is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction, should bear a warning label about the potentially related risk of melanoma. Research suggests that men who are taking Viagra have a higher likelihood of developing this serious form of skin cancer, possibly due to the drug’s mechanism of action. According to The Daily Hornet, millions of men have used Viagra and may be at risk for this adverse outcome.
Although further study is needed, the existing research points to a link between Viagra and melanoma. One study that was published in 2014 found that men who took Viagra experienced an 84 percent greater risk of developing melanoma. Additionally, Viagra is known to work by inhibiting an enzyme that melanoma also inhibits. Multiple studies have shown that this inhibition may enable melanoma to develop more aggressively and more quickly.
