If you have taken the popular erectile dysfunction drug Viagra® (sildenafil), you may be at risk to develop melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

Increased Risk of Skin Cancer

Viagra Melanoma LawyerA study published in JAMA Internal Medicine in 2014 found that men who used Viagra® were 84 percent more likely to develop melanoma over a period of ten years. The results show a strong connection between Viagra® and this devastating skin cancer.

Victims of melanoma experience the following negative effects:

  • Painful surgeries and long recoveries
  • Expensive immunotherapy
  • Permanent disfigurement due to scarring

Drug Manufacturer at Fault

The manufacturer of Viagra®, Pfizer, is being accused of not providing the appropriate warnings to Viagra® users. This failure to warn men about the potentially life-altering side effect of melanoma is a negligent oversight by Pfizer. Many men, had they been correctly warned, may have chosen an alternative to Viagra® in order to avoid the potential skin cancer.

What Is Viagra® and How Is It Connected to Melanoma?

Viagra Melanoma Lawyer 2Viagra® (sildenafil) is a very popular prescription erectile dysfunction drug. It gained FDA approval in 1998 and is manufactured by the American pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer.

Viagra®, on a cellular level, mimics key parts of a process that lets melanoma cells spread to other parts of the body. While more research is needed for the results to become conclusive, it is thought that this “mimicking” of melanoma cell activity gives users of Viagra® a higher chance for developing melanoma.

Consumers at Risk

Millions of men have taken Viagra® without knowledge of the potential side effect of melanoma. Pfizer has not yet issued a warning on its Viagra® label to alert the public of this dangerous potential side effect.
