Pfizer Viagra & Sudden Loss of Sight

3 10 2007

When I was a kid, I heard that masturbation could “make you go blind”. Fortunately, I discovered that it was just a joke and a scare tactic from the old-school days. However, it is not a rumor, joke, or scare tactic that some men taking Pfizer Vigra, (and other labels), have reported sudden loss of vision.

“In rare instances, men taking PDE5 inhibitors (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including VIAGRA) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision” - viagra.com

Researching this I found tons of articles dated back in 2005, but I have not been able to find anything written this year about this serious viagra side effects risk. I wonder why? Maybe because Pfizer put the viagra side effects notice on their Viagra labels and maybe it just doesn’t create the buzz anymore.

I have not been able to locate exact official statistics of the loss of sight, except that, ‘blindness’ as well as ‘deafness’, show on rxlist.com’s list of rare adverse viagra side effects which were reported by less than 2% of the study’s participants.

Even if only one out of one hundred experience loss of sight, are you willing to take that chance? What about herbal alternative viagra and other natural remedies?

Not me.
