Millions of men have taken the popular erectile dysfunction drug, Viagra. This drug is manufactured by the American multinational pharmaceutical corporation, Pfizer. Based on revenues, Pfizer is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Known for developing and producing blockbuster drugs, Pfizer’s other well-known products include Lipitor®, Lyrica®, Diflucan®, Zithromax®, and Celebrex®. Over the past two decades, Pfizer has been involved in various lawsuits concerning some of its pharmaceutical drugs.
A study published in 2014 found that men who had taken Viagra had nearly double the risk of developing melanoma that men who had not taken the drug. This increased risk was also seen in men who had only taken Viagra for a short period of time. Melanoma can be painful and difficult to treat, and may result in costly hospital bills, lost wages, and even death.
