A very rare but more serious visual complication is shared by all PDE5 inhibitors. This would be non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). A number of cases have been reported and generally risk factors for this very rare form of blindness are severe cardiovascular conditions. In summary, men at high-risk for cardiovascular disease with congestive heart failure or unstable angina should not receive treatment for sexual dysfunction until their cardiac condition has stabilized. The FDA advises patients to stop taking these medicines and call a doctor immediately, if they experience sudden or decrease vision loss in one or both eyes. Furthermore, patients taking or considering taking these products should inform their healthcare professionals if they have ever had severe loss of vision, which may reflect a prior episode of NAION. Such patients are at an increased risk of developing NAION again.

The heavier a man is, the greater his risk for vascular disease and diabetes, which both cause ED. Obesity can also lead to the fluctuation of hormones, which can affect how the brain and body respond to sexual activity.

Erectile dysfunction is also known as impotence. It means you can't maintain an erect enough penis for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Many men have erection problems at times and the chance of this happening increases with age.

Physical disorders associated with erectile dysfunction can sometimes be related to hormones in the body. Non-hormonal causes include conditions that affect the blood supply to the penis (such as high blood pressure, type 1 or type 2 diabetes and smoking) and those that affect the nerves supplying the penis (such as Parkinson’s disease and damage to the nerves in the body e.g. due to both type 1 or type 2 diabetes). Erectile dysfunction can also be a side-effect of a medical intervention or treatment. Potential treatments that may be implicated in the cause of erectile dysfunction include certain antidepressants and treatment for high blood pressure (antihypertensives).
With self-injection, a medication is injected directly into the penis to increase blood flow. It is very effective (about 75 percent to 85 percent) and works whether the nerve that controls erections is intact or not. It can be more costly than oral therapies and results in scarring in 5 percent to 30 percent of users (depending on the drug used). To ensure proper dosing, the first dose is generally administered in the doctor’s office.
