However, this case report shows that the resulting visual disturbances could be permanent or at least much longer than transient. Add this potential side effect to the list of other possible side effects from erectile dysfunction medications like sildenafil citrate. This list includes headaches, muscle aches, diarrhea, hearing loss, nasal congestion, drops in blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, and, of course, an erection lasting longer than 4 hours. The last thing is not a good thing and can lead to damage to your penis and more.
Granted, the man in the case report did order the erectile dysfunction medication over the Internet. So it isn’t clear what other ingredients and contaminants may have been included. Melanie Haiken reported five years ago for Forbes that up to 77% of the “Viagra” sold online may be fake and even dangerous. Of course, things on the Internet have gotten sooo much better since then. Take a look at some of the substances that have been found in such fakes: blue printer ink, speed or amphetamine, antibiotics, drywall, and plaster. If you are going to use drywall and plaster to build up Mr Happy, don’t put them in your mouth.
The other issue is that he drank more than the recommended dose. Recommended doses exist for a reason. You aren’t going to get more erect, the more you drink or take. At some point, “dude, I am already standing” will be the response. Taking too much of any medication can bring serious risks.
If you think you need erectile dysfunction medications, talk to your doctor and follow whatever instructions the doctor and any medication packaging provides. Hammers and surfboards may be OK to buy over the Internet, but medications require extra caution. Plus, make sure you really need medications before taking them. A healthy 31-year old shouldn’t need erectile dysfunction medications. There may be other ways to “get things going” like some good music or happy thoughts.
