Viagra

Viagra (sildenafil citrate) is a treatment for male erectile dysfunction, often called impotence.

In July 2005 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it was requiring warnings to be placed on the labels of Viagra, Cialis and Levitra because of reports that some users had developed a form of blindness.

Viagra's label previously listed the most common side effects as upset stomach, headache and facial flushing and noted sensitivity to light, blurred vision and that bluish vision (or difficulty seeing the difference between blue and green) may occur briefly.

The FDA has investigated multiple reports of blindness among men who used the impotence drugs that have gained popularity in recent years. Viagra alone has been used by 23 million men over the past seven years.

Of the 43 men who reported blindness, the FDA noted 38 were men who took Viagra, four who used Cialis and one who used Levitra.

The FDA has noted people with a higher chance of suffering side effects are those who are older than 50, who smoke, already suffer eye problems or who have heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
