Viagra Lawsuits: Vision Loss and Hearing Loss
Viagra side effects could cause hearing loss or a blinding condition known as NAION (Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy). The lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk are no longer investigating Viagra Lawsuits. The information on this page is provided for information purposes only.
Viagra has been manufactured and sold by Pfizer since 1998 for treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED). The medication has been heavily advertised and promoted through television and media not only for treatment of erectile dysfunction in men, but as a sexual aid.
The manufacturer failed to warn of about serious side effect which may cause a vision problem known as NAION (Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy) or sudden hearing loss . As a result of a lack of blood flow to the optic nerve, users may experience sudden vision loss and there have been several reported cases of losing the ability to hear.
The Viagra lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are no longer investigating potential lawsuits for users of Viagra who have suffered serious vision problems or hearing problems shortly after taking the drug.
VIAGRA BLINDNESS
Symptoms of this Viagra side effect usually occur the next morning, or within 48 hours of taking the medication. The signs of vision problems from Viagra may include:
- loss of vision in one eye or both eyes
- blurred vision
- blue tinted vision
- white spots
VIAGRA HEARING LOSS
In October 2007, the FDA updated the warning label for Viagra and other impotence drugs to warn about possible hearing loss which can occur suddently, within a few hours of taking the drug. In many cases the hearing loss is permanent.
