Is it true or not??

Hi guys,

I want to share my query with you. I read lot about erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs on internet. I find that the online pharmacies which are selling ED drugs like Viagra, Cialis etc. describes number of side effects and advantages of these drugs. But I read on a medical news site that viagra, Cilais may be cause for vision loss so I want know that is there is any reality behind this news or not. Is non drug treatment of ED is better than all these drugs.Any information will be thankful…

This is far off-topic however, I'll put this out there. Many drugs sold via spam advertising at online outlets are counterfeit so there is no way to know exactly what it is without a thorough chemical analysis. This is particularly true if it is being sold without a prescription.

Also, consider the source of information. Those trying to sell their stuff will say it's okay because telling the truth doesn't sell very good.

You are better off doing your research with legitimate health sites that don't have a financial interest in more sales of any one drug or compound.

Also, there is lots of research that indicates some ED products do have an increased incidence of blindness as a side effect along with a number of heart issues. Google is your friend and recognizing legitimate research between the garbage is key.
