A former pharmaceuticals executive who, like many doctors, is an expert on male sexual disorders is trying to recover a life-saving drug that has left the world of men feeling so lonely, afraid of ever having to take a pill.
Pfizer Inc. has pulled its blockbuster erectile dysfunction drug Viagra from the market after it was found to be tainted with dangerous levels of sildenafil, a dangerous drug that’s been linked to a potentially fatal side effect called angina.
Pfizer’s move follows years of investigations into Viagra, which is being used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension, the medical condition that causes angina.
The drugs were found to be “associated with a significantly increased risk of death and suicide,” the company said in a statement. Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, is not approved for this use. Pfizer said that because of the potential for dangerous side effects, it suspended sales of the drug and that Pfizer was working to get the drug back on the market.
In January, the FDA announced it was investigating whether the drug was tainted with sildenafil, which is sold under the brand name Viagra. An independent study found that up to 40 percent of men taking the drug had serious health problems.
A separate investigation into the tainted drug found it had been linked to a higher rate of suicidal thoughts and behavior than the placebo group. The FDA said that it was reviewing the findings.
Pfizer said it is working with the U. S. Food and Drug Administration and the U. Postal Service to determine if the tainted drug could harm a person or family. It also plans to update the information about the drugs so that they are being used responsibly and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
In late April, the FDA announced that it was reviewing Viagra’s possible use in treating erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. The agency also announced it was approving Viagra for recreational use, but said that it was worried about the potential for dangerous side effects. Viagra is available without prescription in the U.
Viagra is sold under the brand name Cialis. The FDA said it was aware of the problem in 2010, but did not know how many cases it had investigated. Pfizer said that the FDA is working with the FDA on the drug’s review and that the agency will share information with the public about the drug with regulators. Viagra should not be taken by patients with heart problems or those taking nitrate drugs. The drug was also tested in humans and showed no problems for recreational use.
Pfizer’s move follows years of investigations into the tainted drug. In 2011, the company conducted a clinical trial involving four men who used Viagra to treat erectile dysfunction. The men in that trial were taking Viagra under the brand name Cialis. One man in the trial was diagnosed as suffering from a severe form of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
In February, the FDA announced it was investigating a class-action lawsuit that alleged that the drugs had been tainted with dangerous levels of sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. The complaint alleged that the men in the trial were taking the drugs “in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and the United States’ Exclusivity Act, and for the purpose of:
Pfizer said that the company will update information about the drugs so that regulators are more aware of the potential risks and are more involved in their investigations. It will also update the company’s website, and that it will offer updates on the drugs’ safety and effectiveness to customers and healthcare professionals.

Michael C. Johnson, 47, was arrested Wednesday after a tip-off that he had been taking Viagra for the past three weeks. Citing a tip-off from his local doctor, Johnson's lawyer, Steve Grazier, said he "felt really badly" about his heart attack and that the man had been "very, very excited" about the drug.
The man, who has a history of bleeding disorders, said the "blood test" revealed the man had "lost an amount of blood."
Johnson had been prescribed Viagra, but the man said the bottle had crushed his tongue and was bleeding because of the bleeding.
In an interview Wednesday afternoon with the San Francisco Chronicle, Johnson was asked if he had taken any drugs that might have caused his "blood loss," and he was told the drug did not affect him. The story was reported by the paper.
In the latest of three cases involving Viagra-type drugs, Johnson's family filed an investigation that was not part of the criminal investigation. The investigation was still in early stage but Johnson said the man, who was married to his wife, had used the drug in his efforts to get it for a woman.
He said the man said he had been taking Viagra since he was about 20 years old but had lost the drug for a "long period." A spokesman for the San Francisco Department of Health said the doctor did not want to talk about his feelings, but did not know if he was taking the drug himself. The man said he was taking the drug three times a day. He did not know how much the drug was affecting his blood.
A doctor who treated Johnson told the San Francisco Chronicle the man had been on Viagra for "some amount of time," and that he was "taking it for a long period."
Johnson's lawyer said the man was "not aware" that he had taken Viagra for some time, and that the bottle contained the drug.
The doctor said he would never prescribe Viagra to a woman who has taken Viagra. He said the man had no medical problems that would cause an allergic reaction or any other serious side effects.
The man's mother, Linda Johnson, said the doctor did not know what had caused the man's heart attack and she was worried about the woman's future. The mother said that was a "very unusual situation" for the woman, who was not taking any of the pills. Johnson said he had told the doctor that he had taken Viagra and the woman did not want him to use it.
The woman said the man was not aware of what had caused his "blood loss," and that she had not taken any pills to prevent it. The doctor had not told him that the woman was having a heart attack. Johnson said the woman told him that she was having a heart attack the night of the attack and that the man had taken the drugs.
In a letter from her attorney, Linda Johnson's mother, Laura Johnson, said she was afraid that the woman was taking Viagra because she was not sure what caused the problem.
