Viagra - New Drug Warning 10/18/07

A man has reported sudden hearing loss after taking Viagra. The FDA is including this as a new new warning on the labels for Cialis and Viagra.

Apparently twenty nine cases of sudden hearing loss have been reported in association with these drugs, but in two thirds of the cases the hearing loss was ongoing.

Just to clarify what warnings on drug labels mean - if anyone reports an unusual or unexplained event while taking a medication it is reported to the FDA as an adverse or untoward drug effect.

It doesn't always mean that the medication is responsible. In this instance, the warning will be on the label, but the FDA is investigating further.

Take good care of yourself. Exercise - and get your cholesterol treated if it's high. You'll be less likely to need either of these medications.

  1. I understand. Men aren't as pushed toward self examination like women are.
