Viagra Lawyer in Connecticut
Sildenafil citrate, tadalafil, and vardenafil are three popular drugs prescribed to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in men. The products are marketed under the brand names Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra.
Since initial approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998, these drugs have been used by more than 25 million men in the United States.
Vision at Risk
After taking ED medications, a number of men have suffered a loss of eyesight in one eye. This type of vision loss—known as Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION)—occurs when blood flow to the optic nerve is blocked. Ophthalmologists describe NAION as a “stroke of the eye.”
While professionals cannot determine if ED medications cause NAION, men run a far higher risk if they have heart disease, are over 50 years old, or smoke. Men with diabetes, high blood pressure or cholesterol, or a history of certain eye problems are also at increased risk.
A Potential Link
In 2005, the FDA released a news alert on the condition. As of May 2005, the FDA had received 43 reports of NAION among patients taking Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra. More than half of these patients reported continuing and permanent visual loss.
They have since approved new labels for Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra to include information on possible eyesight loss caused by NAION. If you take Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra and suffer a loss of eyesight, seek medical attention right away.
