Viagra
Anti-Impotence Drug
In 1998, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Viagra, a drug marketed for anti-impotence. The Viagra marketing campaign generated enough buzz to cause twenty three million men to use the drug worldwide. Due to its popularity, Viagra was considered a “miracle drug”. However, recent lawsuits have been filed against Pfizer, the manufacturer of Viagra. Viagra has been targeted as the cause of blindness, vision problems, and several other side effects for drug users.

Life-Changing Consequences
Recently, 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. Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common cause of vision problems for people over the age of fifty. While using Viagra, several patients developed NAION, a condition they had not had prior to their drug usage.
Pfizer’s failure to warn users about Viagra side effects has led countless people with painful physical impairments.
Viagra has many physically damaging side effects:
- Viagra can cause irreversible blindness.
- Viagra can cause vision problems like NAION.
These side effects are may also be common among similar drugs including Cialis and Levitra. If you have experienced these symptoms with any erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment, please contact our office today so that we may evaluate your claim.
