A federal judge in Chicago ordered the government to pay $2.4 million to resolve allegations that the pharmaceutical company failed to adequately warn consumers of its dangerous erectile dysfunction drug.

The Food and Drug Administration has agreed to take a $2.4 million settlement with the maker of Viagra, Pfizer Inc., which has been accused of illegally marketing the drug to treat erectile dysfunction.

Viagra, the brand name for the drug sildenafil, was approved in the United States in 1998 by the Food and Drug Administration. The drug is sold over-the-counter (OTC) in the United States under the brand name Revatio.

The judge in the suit said that the FDA "has repeatedly rejected the claims made by consumers and medical professionals who claim that sildenafil, an oral PDE-5 inhibitor, is effective against the risks of erectile dysfunction."

"While this is an extremely serious matter, it is not a trivial matter, and it is an important case for all parties involved in this litigation," said John L. Katz, a partner at law firm of New York, NY.

Viagra and similar products have been linked to "significant sexual dysfunction" and are often marketed as "Viagra," according to the suit.

"Viagra has been known to contain nitrates found in the drug, which can cause dangerous drops in blood pressure," the suit claims. "Viagra is a PDE-5 inhibitor, which means it blocks the enzyme phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5). In this case, the PDE5 enzyme is a known risk factor for the development of erectile dysfunction, and the drug was not included in the approved product list."

The suit alleges that Pfizer knew of the risk of these adverse reactions and was responsible for marketing the drug to consumers.

"It is clear from the allegations that Viagra was marketed to the public by companies with links to the health risks associated with the drug," Katz said. "The FDA has failed to adequately warn the public that Viagra is a safe and effective medicine."

Viagra was approved by the FDA in 1998. The drug was the first PDE-5 inhibitor to be approved for treating erectile dysfunction.

The FDA is a non-profit agency that protects consumers. The drug is not regulated by the FDA. The FDA has approved the drug only under specific circumstances, but not all circumstances.

"The FDA has not adequately disclosed to the public that it is the responsible manufacturer of Viagra or that its safety and efficacy are of concern," the suit reads.

In addition to Pfizer, the suit also claims that the company knew of the risk of side effects and was responsible for marketing the drug.

It also alleges that the company knew about Viagra's potential side effects before the drug was approved. The lawsuit claims that the company failed to adequately warn consumers about the potential risks of sildenafil, the drug's active ingredient.

In addition to Pfizer, the suit alleges that the company knew of the risk of side effects and was responsible for marketing the drug.

The suit says that the FDA has failed to provide adequate warnings to consumers about the drug's risks and that the company failed to adequately warn consumers about the risks.

The suit alleges that the FDA was aware of the risk of severe allergic reactions and of serious adverse reactions to the drug.

"The FDA has consistently stated that Viagra is a safe medicine and that its safety and efficacy are of concern," Katz said.

In addition to Pfizer, the suit also claims that the company knew of the risk of severe allergic reactions and of serious adverse reactions to the drug.
