Impotence Drugs Linked to Eye Damage Risk

Male Impotence Drugs Possibly Dangerous for Eyesight? Another Good Reason to Go Natural for Impotence Treatment or Other Sexual Dysfunction..

In a recent story out of London, it was disclosed/discovered that impotencedrugs such as Viagra and Cialis can increasethe risk of eyesight and eye damage - especially men with a history ofheart disease of high blood pressure.

According to the study performed byscientists at the University of Alabama, men who have heart disease or havehad a heart attack were ten times more likely to suffer damage to theoptical nerve than men who had not experienced a heart attack or heartdisease. Tests were run on the most popular and widely used male impotence drugstoday, Viagra - made by Pfizer, and Cialis - made by Eli Lilly.

So far,Viagra has changed their labeling to note the possibility and instances ofoptical damage - as of yet, I don’t believe Cialis has instituted anydifferent labeling or warnings on their bottles/labels.In conclusion, the scientists strongly recommended that patients bestrongly warned against taking a prescription impotence drug if they havehigh blood pressure or a heart condition.

Other side effects noted are as follows:

Viagra: Less common side effects that may occur are temporary changes in color vision (such as trouble telling the difference between blue and green objects or having a blue color tinge to them), eyes being more sensitive to light or blurred vision.

Cialis: may uncommonly cause … vision changes, such as seeing a blue tinge to objects or having difficulty telling the difference between the colors blue and green.

Levitra: may uncommonly cause … vision changes, such as seeing a blue tinge to objects or having difficulty telling the difference between the colors blue and green.
