Viagra or sildefinal citrate is the first oral pill used to treat impotence, a dysfunction that is currently affecting millions of men in the United States. Viagra claims to treat erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve erection. Viagra works by inhibiting an enzyme known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5), which causes muscles in the penis to relax and allows the increase of the blood in, resulting in an erection. However, the negative side effects of this drug are serious.

Common side effects are dyspepsia, headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, urinary tract infections, abnormal vision, diarrhea, dizziness and rashes, but findings prove that it’s more than just these side effects. Serious complications in prolonged use include harmful effects that known to affect the cardiovascular system (cerebral thrombosis, cardiac arrest, heart failure), digestive system (stomatitis, abnormal liver function, rectal hemorrhages), nervous system (decreased reflexes, depression, hypertonia) and the respiratory system (asthma, dyspnea, bronchitis). Unfortunately, the most common side effect that most users suffer is the blindness. The Food and Drug Administration has received more than 40 reports of blindness among Viagra users.

Investigations about Viagra’s correlation with these effects will be taken again by the FDA. The FDA, in fact, issued the approval for the release of Viagra in a hasty manner. Further review and extensive evaluation could have been implemented before approval.

With more testing, the Viagra manufacturer, Pfizer, could have known about these effects.

Companies that lay profit above the public must be held responsibility for their negligence, carelessness and damage that they cause to the consumers’ lives.
