Viagra And Cialis Follow Levitra Label Change

it has not actually been proven that there is a link

Ukmedix News has been aware for some time of the reports that the erectile dysfunction medications Viagra, Cialis and Levitra could cause a condition called transient global amnesia or to put it in simpler terms temporary memory loss.

While it has not actually been proven that there is a link between these medications and the memory condition the manufacturers of the three erectile dysfunction drugs namely Pfizer, Eli Lilly & Co and Bayer have decided to amend the labeling on their drugs to cover themselves. Earlier this year the drug company Bayer which makes the erectile dysfunction medication Levitra amended its warning labeling to include transient global amnesia and now the other two have followed suit. All the changes to the labeling have been approved by the Food & Drug Administration.

The three drug manufacturers say that the number of people reporting transient global amnesia after the use of their medications has been very small and that it should be taken into account that many men who use these medications are elderly and therefore are normally susceptible to memory loss conditions.

Pfizer even noted that sex could be a significant risk factor for the onset of transient global amnesia especially among elderly men. Other things which have been known to cause the memory loss are also a sudden shock from hot or cold water, vigorous physical activity and emotional distress. People who suffer from transient global amnesia tend to lose their memories for about six hours and when they come around again they are often unaware how they got into the position they find themselves in.

You shouldn’t really worry too much about this memory loss condition as only a few hundred cases have been reported despite the fact around 35 million men have use Viagra since its launch over ten years ago and many more men have used the erectile dysfunction drug Cialis and Levitra.
