Heart Attack Victim Sues Viagra Maker

A 63-year-old man who had a heart attack after using Viagra for four days sued Pfizer Inc. for $85 million in the first lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company over the impotence pill. Diego Padro, a retiree who suffers from diabetes, was stricken a day and a half after taking the last of four pills and was hospitalized for eight days. Viagra warnings are inadequate, said Ronald Benjamin, Padro’s lawyer. Pfizer had no comment on the case, but said Viagra is “a safe and effective medicine for erectile dysfunction when used as recommended in the approved package insert.”
