Suing doctor for Viagra overdose

A doctor prescribed me Viagra to boost my performance and ensure I do not disappoint. After using the dose for 2 months, I have developed hearing and heart problems. My new doctor says that the previous doctor overprescribed the Viagra. Can I sue my doctor? Please advise me.

Being a man, we understand how sensitive an issue this is. Generally, the dosage of Viagra must be tailored to the patient’s specific medical profile factors, such as age, overall health, cardiovascular risk, concurrent medications, and the severity of erectile dysfunction, all of which influence the appropriate prescription. As you have not disclosed the exact dose prescribed, assessing whether it constituted an ‘overdose’ would first require a clinical review of the prescription in light of those variables. In any case as lawyers we would not be qualified to comment on what dose you should have taken.

That said, if your current doctor has determined that the previous doctor prescribed a dose exceeding what would be deemed medically appropriate according to established treatment guidelines, and you suffered harm, there may be grounds for a medical malpractice claim. To succeed in such a claim, you would need to prove that the doctor breached the accepted standard of care and that this breach directly caused your injuries. This would typically require expert medical testimony, documentation of both the original prescription and your current symptoms, and evidence showing that the harm is causally linked to the inappropriate dosage. Without this, a claim may not succeed. We recommend consulting a qualified medical negligence or personal injury lawyer who can assess your situation, review your medical records, and advise on the strength of a possible case. We wish you good luck.
