FDA creates blindness warning label for Viagra
The Food and Drug Administration today approved updated labeling for Cialis, Levitra and Viagra to reflect a small number of post-marketing reports of sudden vision loss, attributed to NAION (non arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy), a condition where blood flow is blocked to the optic nerve.
FDA advises patients to stop taking these medicines, and call a doctor or healthcare provider right away if they experience sudden or decreased vision loss in one or both eyes. Further, patients taking or considering taking these products should inform their health care professionals if they have ever had severe loss of vision, which might reflect a prior episode of NAION. Such patients are at an increased risk of developing NAION again.
At this time, it is not possible to determine whether these oral medicines for erectile dysfunction were the cause of the loss of eyesight or whether the problem is related to other factors such as high blood pressure or diabetes, or to a combination of these problems. The new labeling information is available along with additional information for healthcare providers and consumers online at:
Viagra (http://www.fda.gov/cder/consumerinfo/viagra/vIAGRA.htm)
Levitra (http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/vardenafil/default.htm)
Cialis (http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/cialis/default.htm)

I don't think that's going to affect the ED-Pills buying habits of most users. Just like the warnings on cigarette packets!
So far, I am happy that I can buy cialis and viagra online and get free shipping worldwide to my doorstep. It's amazing that viagra is available online and so you can order viagra from your room discreetly. People who buy viagra tend to also buy cialis to compare the results of the best two men pills.
