Viagra - Major Source of New Medical Problems

Use EXTREME Caution !

Viagra is being touted as a miracle drug, capable of magically transforming your sex life into an ecstatic wonderland. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In order to become erect, the cavernosa inside the penile shaft must become engorged with blood, which requires a strong flow of blood to the penis and cavernosa tissues. Viagra dilates the blood vessels in the penis, thus enabling them to deliver more blood flow to the penis. Viagra can therefore enable some currently dysfunctional men to achieve an erection because of this increased blood flow.

But Viagra doesn't just dilate the blood vessels in the penis. All the blood vessels throughout the entire body are dilated. In the eyes, in the ears, in the lungs, in the brain. There are major health risks created as a result.

According to Viagra's manufacturer, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, there are numerous adverse reactions, precautions, and contraindications.

First, because it dilates the blood vessels, it lowers your blood pressure. Anyone who is taking any kind of medication for heart or blood pressure problems is at high risk and should not take Viagra.

If you have liver or kidney problems, bleeding disorders, peptic ulcers, or eye problems, you should not take Viagra.

If you take Viagra, be aware that the manufacturer has identified the following side effects in its clinical studies.

Headache, flushing, upset stomach, dyspepsia, nasal congestion, urinary tract infection, abnormal vision (including color tinge, color blindness, sensitivity to light, and blurred vision), diarrhea, dizziness, rash, edema, shock, chills, asthenia, abdominal pain, chest pain, angina pectoris, migraine, hypotension, cerebral thrombosis, cardiac arrest, myocardial ischemia, vomiting, rectal hemorrhage, abnormal liver function tests, anemia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, hypoglycemic reaction, myalgia, ataxia, neuralgia, vertigo, depression, tachycardia, paresthenia, insomnia, hypesthesia, dyspnea, sinusitis, tinnitus, eye pain, deafness, ear pain, eye hemorrhage, mydriasis, and urinary incontinence.

There are other side effects; these are just the 'high points'.

Because of circumcision, there is a massive demand for a drug such as Viagra. Sales of the drug could continue for the next hundred years just to treat the current 'supply' of mutilation victims doctors have created. Once the more serious side effects start kicking in, there'll be yet another huge supply of patients for doctors to 'treat'. In particular, the big item to watch for is users of the drug going blind.
