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. These drops in blood pressure can bring on cardiac events including:

  • Heart attack
  • Sudden cardiac death
  • Hypertension

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), are men who:

  • Have heart disease
  • Are over 50 years old
  • Have diabetes
  • Have high blood pressure
  • Have high cholesterol
  • Smoke
  • Have certain eye problems

Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra have also been linked with piapism, a prolonged and painful erection that requires immediate medical attention.

If you are using one of these ED drugs and notice symptoms of cardiac problems or changes in vision, stop taking the medication and see your healthcare provider immediately. If you have already suffered injury after taking Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra, you may be able to recover damages. Get your case evaluated by a qualified ED drug attorney.
