The effect of Viagra on vision

It has already been mentioned that PDE5 inhibitor drugs designed to improve erection in men can cause some side effects. Let's take a closer look at one of them, mainly associated with taking Viagra.

Viagra, when used correctly, is extremely effective in treating male potency problems, but as with any drug, overdose can lead to health problems.

Sexual behavior largely depends on visual perception. We are excited by what we see. But high doses of Viagra, taken to maintain an erection, can adversely affect the retina. Such cases emphasize the importance of using the lowest effective dose and the inadmissibility of the abuse of Viagra.

Overdose of sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient in Viagra, can harm your eyesight. Almost every user of this drug has experienced a mild form of this disorder.

After Viagra, everything around is "like wearing rose-colored glasses"-

MensHealth has published an article about a 31-year-old man who experienced the effects of a Viagra overdose. He developed a permanent reddening of color perception after taking several tablets of the drug at once. This case is also interesting because in most cases, the side effect of Viagra on vision is expressed in the "blue" color perception, when the patient sees the surrounding objects in blue tones.

In the case described, the man took so much Viagra that he developed a red tint of vision with flashes of light, called photopsia. Although the photopsy then passed within 24 hours, the red tint of color perception in both eyes remained. Two days later, he decided to call an ambulance.

Doctors have discovered microscopic damage to the cones in the patient's retina, which are responsible for how we see colors. This was caused by the toxicity of excessive amounts of Viagra consumed. Despite the fact that the patient was given steroids to try to neutralize this effect, a year later the man still had problems.

Even if you bought Viagra in a pharmacy, this case should be a warning: you can not take a dose exceeding the recommended one, the publication writes.

If you value your eyesight, always use Viagra according to the instructions in the instructions. Take the recommended dose. If taken incorrectly, sildenafil citrate can also cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, bleeding and headaches.

Viagra is extremely effective in improving the blood supply to the penis. With the help of this drug, you can defeat erectile dysfunction, but you only need to do this in accordance with the instructions and recommendations of the doctor.
