Levitra
Approved by the FDA on August 19, 2003, Levitra is a popular drug designed to treat erectile dysfunction. ED drugs are one of the most lucrative markets in the United States, as almost 30 million men will suffer from some form of sexual dysfunction at some point in their lives. The Food and Drug Administration is currently investigating a report of vision loss allegedly caused by Levitra prescriptions, although experts believe that there could be many more cases that go unreported or misdiagnosed.
The suspected cause of vision problems is a condition called NAION, or Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy. It results from an interruption in blood flow to the optic nerve, and can cause sudden and irreversible blindness. It is considered one of the leading causes of loss of eyesight in older Americans, and strikes between 1,000 and 6,000 people each year. People who suffer from diabetes or heart disease are at higher risk to develop NAION than others.
The FDA believes that because diabetes and heart disease can also contribute to ED, patients with these conditions should investigate their health options before embarking on Levitra treatment. Physicians need to carefully go over the risks of these drugs, and advise their patients to consider every option in order to prevent the occurrence of serious side effects.
If you or someone you know was injured by Levitra, you need to take immediate action. You could be entitled to take legal action to reclaim losses based on your condition, but if you hesitate statute of limitation laws could end your case before it has a chance to begin.
