Have You Been Diagnosed with Melanoma while taking Viagra?

Published on July 3, 2015 by

Maybe you are a man who has been using Viagra for years. You unexpectedly developed melanoma, and now you are wondering whether your medication may have been responsible for the cancer. You can't believe that a drug you thought was safe could have harmed you, and you want to know why no one warned you about the potential risks.

Or maybe you are the family member or friend of someone who died from melanoma. You know your loved one was taking Viagra, and you're wondering whether there may have been a link between the medication and his death.

Whatever your situation may be, you probably have several urgent medical and legal questions about Viagra. Some of the questions you may be asking include:

  • Did Viagra really hurt me or my loved one?
  • Is there scientific evidence available to show that Viagra can cause serious health problems, such as melanoma?
  • Did the manufacturer, Pfizer, know that Viagra was capable of causing harm to consumers?
  • If Viagra is dangerous, can Pfizer be held responsible for the effects of the drug? Have legal actions already been initiated?
  • If Viagra harmed me or my loved one, am I entitled to compensation? If so, what is the next step?
