Viagra linked to blindness risk
Anti-impotence drug Viagra increases the risk of blindness, doctors
believe.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School in the US
identified seven men who developed vision problems after taking
Viagra.
The team, writing in the Journal of Neuro-ophthalmology,said it
brought the total number of reported cases to 14.
But Pfizer, the makers of the drug which has been used by more than
20m men since its launch in 1998, said the cases were a coincidence.
The seven men, aged between 50 and 69 years old, had all suffered from
a swelling of the optic nerve within 36 hours of taking Viagra for
erectile dysfunction.
Six experienced vision loss within 24 hours, although only one had
problems with both eyes.
The condition, known as nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic
neuropathy (NAION), causes a rapid reduction of vision and can, in the
most serious cases, lead to blindness.
Report co-author Dr Howard Pomeranz said the drug had long been linked
to sight problems.
"For years, we have known some men who take Viagra will experience
temporary colour changes in their vision and see things as blue or
green.
"NAION is a much more serious condition because it can lead to
permanent vision loss."
But a Pfizer spokeswoman said: "Pfizer takes these reports very
seriously, as we do anything concerning the safety of patients.
"However, there have been no reports of NAION in the 103 controlled
clinical trials of Viagra."
She said she believed the cases were just a coincidence, but said the
company would continue monitoring reports.

I asked my partner to come over here and help me read this, but she's
plum tuckered out and told me to leave the pills alone for a while.

I had a prescription for Viagra (hey, cancer sucks in many, many ways,
alright?)
The first time I used it, everything went blue-green in my vision.
Serious, it was like there was a filter over my eyes.
I think we may own the only bottle of Viagra that expired with pills
in the bottle.

That's really strange, though I wonder if it'd be possible to
manufacture a drug that gives a rosey tint to the world...

I'm sure there's a million Internet pharmacies who'd be delighted to
take them off your hands, regardless!

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-

Well that sounds like a saving. I thought you took Viagra, to improve your
performance, and alcohol to improve her looks.
Seems Viagra does both.

Ah, I hadn't known that connection. If only Palm Sunday came about
more than once a year, maybe the Catholics wouldn't be having all those
troubles.

Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation whenever he shall deem

If today he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade

may say to him, "I see no probability of the British invading us," but he
will say to you, "Be silent; I see it, if you don't."
