subject: May Viagra Cause A Death? [print this page] May Viagra Cause A Death? May Viagra Cause A Death?
Since the discovery of Viagra 69 cases of death have officially registered after taking this drug. However, you should know that nobody has won yet a single lawsuit against Pfizer for alleged deaths of patients because of the "Viagra". The cause of death in all cases were cardiovascular system problems (heart attacks and strokes), which led to a sweet death during sexual intercourse.
Indeed, sexual intercourse is a serious exercise. Some researchers assert that one sex can be equated to a running at a distance of five kilometers. It's really is a serious test. If an elderly person, who several years was unable to have sex, would suddenly receive a sexual zeal as a teenager, the consequences could be very disastrous, because the heart can simply fail sustaining such a physical activity. But don't assign the blame to "Viagra"! In my opinion this is more a question of deontology, as it is obvious that a person should control the emotions himself, and he shouldn't bring himself to death by excessive zeal during lovemaking.
Reports of deaths confirm only the need for medical monitoring for taking in "Viagra", especially in elderly patients or patients with cardiovascular problems. So, before taking "Viagra", a person must be consulted by a doctor and, if necessary - a person must be examined by a cardiologist. Only in this case reserves of the heart will be established. Hereupon qualified doctor can give advice about influence of intensive sex on the quality of life at any person.
In addition to cases of death while having sex, there are reports about other dangers of excessive sexual activity. For example, recently one prostitute was convicted of murder of her regular customer in Hong Kong. The investigation revealed that the victim was 82 years old and the motive was not such robbery, as police decided previosly. According to the guilty lady of pleasure she killed her client because of rampant(!) sexual activity of the victim and lack of opportunities to fulfill all his amorous desires. As you may have guessed, the reason for such activity of the 82-year-old Don Juan was "Viagra". But, certainly, a medicine was not a real reason for this dismal end.
