About Viagra:

In a recent study, US researchers describe seven patients who developed nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), an eye ailment that can result in permanent vision loss, after taking Viagra (sildenafil) for erection difficulties. Combined with past reports, this study brings the total number of sildenafil-related NAION cases to 14.

"For years, we've known that a number of men who take Viagra will experience short-term color changes in their vision and see things as green or blue," study co-author Dr. Howard D. Pomeranz, from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, said in a statement. With the exception of one patient whose symptoms began 24 to 36 hours after using Viagra, the patients developed symptoms within 24 hours of use.

In all patients, the initial symptoms were blurred vision and some degree of vision loss. In one patient, both eyes were affected, whereas in the remainder, just one was involved. Three patients had preexisting eye problems that may have increased their risk of NAION.

Pfizer Inc., the world's largest drugmaker, said U.S. regulators may require a label warning that the Viagra impotence drug has been linked to reports of blindness and vision loss in at least one in a million users.

The FDA has 38 reports of the blindness, among users of Viagra. Pfizer spokesman Daniel Watts confirmed Friday that the drugmaker was in discussions with the FDA about adding a disclosure to Viagra's label to say that in rare cases, men taking Viagra had developed blindness.

Viagra was approved by the government in 1998. It may aid in the treatment of enlarged hearts that can result from high blood pressure, tests on animals indicate.
