Viagra Melanoma Skin Cancer Lawyers

Viagra, or sildenafil citrate, is a popular prescription drug used to treat erectile dysfunction in male patients. The drug’s manufacturer, Pfizer, claims that more than 25 million men in the United States have tried Viagra since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998. However, studies have linked Viagra to an increased risk of developing melanoma—one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer.

Viagra May Increase Melanoma Risk

A recent study of nearly 26,000 male patients suggests that men who have taken Viagra are nearly twice as likely to develop melanoma as men who have never taken the drug. Researchers determined that patients who took Viagra faced increased risks of developing melanoma regardless of their family histories of skin cancers, medical histories of other cancers, and ultraviolet exposure in regions where they lived.

Dr. Abrar Qureshi, co-author of the study and professor and chair of the Department of Dermatology at Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, suggests that Viagra may trigger melanoma—as opposed to other less aggressive skin cancers—because it affects the same genetic pathways that allow skin cancers to become more invasive.
