Canada issues warning on Viagra vision loss
Tue Jul 26, 4:48 PM ET

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada advised users
of the erectile dysfunction drugs Viagra,
Cialis or Levitra on Tuesday to seek
"immediate medical attention" if they
experience sudden vision loss or other
vision problems when taking the drugs.

Health Canada, the federal health ministry,
also said in a statement it was likely to
change the product information for the
three popular drugs.

Earlier this month the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration approved new
labeling to warn men about possible
blindness from Pfizer Inc.'s Viagra.

The U.S. warning labels also affect Cialis,
sold by Eli Lilly & Co. and Icos Corp.,
and Levitra, which is co-promoted by
GlaxoSmithKline and Bayer AG .

"Health Canada is advising individuals who
use the drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra to
consult their physicians and seek immediate
medical attention if they experience sudden
vision loss or vision-related problems
while taking these drugs," the statement said.
