Scary Side Effects of Oral ED Medication

If you’ve had issues with Erectile Dysfunction (ED), you have most likely considered or tried an oral ED prescription medication. The most common of these medications are:

• Sildenafil (Viagra®)
• Tadalafil (Cialis®)
• Vardenafil (Levitra®)
• Avanafil (Stendra®)

The root cause of Erectile Dysfunction is poor blood flow. These medications are also known as PDE5 Inhibitors and help to temporarily treat erectile dysfunction symptoms by helping the body increase levels of Nitric Oxide, which help blood vessels to open up and expand, allowing better blood flow to the penis.

Although these medications have come to be considered as mainstream options of treatment, they not only come with a heavy price tag and the necessity to always plan ahead – most importantly, they come with some pretty hefty potential side effects. 

Sildenafil (Viagra®)

Also known as the little blue pill, Viagra is perhaps the most famous oral ED medication. Since this oral ed medication has been around for over 20 years, many men don’t consider the possible side effects which range from uncomfortable to severe.

Mild side effects of Viagra®, Cialis®, Levitra®, and Stendra® include a normal range of issues, including but not limited to:

• Nausea

• Dizziness

• Headaches

• Facial flushing

• Back Pain

However, there are some rare and severe risks to these medications including the possible side effect of permanent vision loss in both eyes, a condition known as non-arteritic anterio ischemic optic neuropathy aka NAION. Your risk of this side effect can be greater if you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or if you smoke. 

Other rare but dangerous side effects include sudden hearing loss (the FDA issued a warning), a painful erection that lasts longer than four hours, or an unsafe drop in blood pressure.

With any prescription medication, it is important to realize and note the possible dangers and side effects that could be life-changing.
