Guest Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) But, seriously, increased relative risks of fairly uncommon conditions, according to the article: "...those who had regularly taken such ED medications were still 85% more likely to have suffered one of these three eye conditions. They were 158% more likely to have had SRD, 44% more likely to have had RVO, and 102% more likely to have had ION. This translated to an additional 3.8 SRD cases, 8.5 RVO cases, and 3.2 ION cases per 10,000 person-years..." "... serous retinal detachment (SRD), retinal vascular occlusion (RVO), and ischemic optic neuropathy (ION)..." The other issue with the article, of course, is that this was a case-control study, not a randomized controlled trial. I suspect it would be almost impossible to do an RCT to actually find out the real answer for sure. Edited April 22, 2022 by Unicorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ The Big Guy Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Of course this is concerning but since having prostate cancer treatment the ED meds provide me with the ability to still have a sex life, so I will take the risk.
