Side effects revealed during post-marketing studies

viagra side effectsCardiovascular complications

During the post-marketing study of Viagra for erectile dysfunction treatment, there were reported such side effects as severe cardiovascular conditions (including myocardial infarction, unstable stenocardia, sudden cardiac death, ventricular arrhythmia, hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attack, hypertension, and hypotension), which seemed to have a temporal association with Sildenafil. The majority of these patients, but not all of them had risk factors for cardiovascular complications. Many of these adverse effects were observed just after sexual activity, and some of them were noted after administration of the drug for men without subsequent sexual activity. It is not possible to detect a direct link between the reported side effects and Viagra intake.

Eyesight disturbances

In rare cases, a post-marketing study of all PDE5 inhibitors, containing Sildenafil, have reported anterior ischemic optic neuropathy – a rare disease and a cause of a decrease or loss of eyesight. Most of these patients had definite risk factors, in particular, the reduction ratio of excavation diameters and the optic nerve discus (“stagnant disc”), the age over 50, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia and detrimental habits, including smoking. The observational study has evaluated whether the recent use of Viagra from Canadian Pharmacy Mall was associated with acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Results indicate approximately a 2-fold increase in risk for anterior ischemic optic neuropathy after administration of the drug. According to the published data, the one-year incidence of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy makes 2.5-11.8 cases per 100 000 men over the age of 50 in the general population. Patients should stop using this medication immediately in case of sudden eyesight loss and consult a doctor. Men who have already suffered from acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, have an increased risk of relapse of the disease. Thus, the physician should discuss the risks and the potential chance of adverse effects of the PDE5 inhibitor with his patients. PDE5 inhibitors, including Viagra from Canada, should be used with caution in such patients and only in situations where the expected benefit of the drug outweighs the risks.
