A side effect of Viagra's popularity is an
increase in sexually transmitted diseases:
A San Francisco public health official has petitioned FDA to make Pfizer's anti-impotence drug Viagra a controlled substance because of studies showing an association between use of the medication and higher rates of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, director of STD prevention and control for the San Francisco Department of Public Health, has requested that Viagra and similar drugs be listed as Schedule III controlled substances -- a category of legal drugs that are often used for non-prescription uses, such as steroids.
Another side effect is that many people now misspell
Niagara Falls. The Si Valley paper just had
this headline:
Niagra Falls Plunge Survivor Returns
