Generic Viagra Trial Shuts Down After 11 Newborn Deaths

Gizmodo is reporting that a Dutch medical trial has been stopped early due to a wave of infant deaths. The trial was meant to study whether sildenafil, otherwise known as Viagra, can prevent children from being born with low birth weight.

The deaths are especially frightening since the drug is seemingly already being given to expectant mothers around the world.
