Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra cause drops in systemic blood pressure in many patients. This is caused by a dilation of general blood vessels, as well as the vessels that allow erection of the penis. Such drops in blood pressure can bring on cardiac events including hypertension, heart attack and/or sudden cardiac death. Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra have also been linked with piapism, a prolonged and painful erection that requires immediate medical attention.
Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra have most recently been linked with sudden blindness in one eye, called stroke of the eye, which occurs when the blood supply is cut off to an optic nerve. The patients most at risk for this condition, non-artritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). The FDA received over fifty case reports that link Viagra to blindness and vision problems for users of the drug. Prior to these allegations, Pfizer did not warn the users of Viagra about the possibility of blindness or vision problems.
