Buy Viagra Study

For some foolish reason I searched for ‘don’t buy viagra’, instead of my usual ‘buy viagra’.

I wound up finding plenty of reasons to not use Viagra (Sildenafil citrate).

-Seven patients, aged between 50 and 69 years, had typical features of NAION within 36 hours after ingestion of Viagra for erectile dysfunction. Seven similar cases have been previously reported. These cases were published. Viagra has been studied extensively in clinical trials, with over 3,700 people having been evaluated. [3] In these studies, side effects are always documented. (NAION, is a acronym for a certain type of blindness; medscape)

 

-In an analysis of 1,473 major adverse events recorded in these reports about Viagra to the FDA, 522 people died, most of them from cardiovascular causes.

 

-Pharmaceutical companies warn men not to take Viagra without a prescription from a doctor because of the many risks, especially for men taking nitroglycerin, which is a heart drug that lowers high blood pressure.

 

-The British Medical Journal[2] reports several cases of men taking Viagra who maintained painful erections for up to 24 hours after ejaculation (called priapism). This totally unnatural occurrence is so dangerous that it can actually damage the tiny valves in the penis veins, leading to permanent impotence.

 

-Men who take Viagra may be shooting blanks according to new research conducted at Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Viagra, it seems, causes sperm cells to premature release digestive enzymes that normally break down the wall of the egg. As a result, sperm from men who take Viagra can no longer fertilize eggs as effectively.

-CBS News analyzed four years of Viagra adverse events reported to the FDA. There were eye problems in more than 800 patients with more than 140 cases of partial or total blindness. These reports alone aren’t proof of a direct link, but, experts look to them for patterns. The FDA asked manufacturers of Cialis, Levitra, and Viagra to revise product labeling after a very small number of patients taking the PDE5 inhibitors reported sudden hearing loss, sometimes accompanied by ringing in the ears and dizziness.
