Viagra causes blindness, hair growth on palms

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it has received about 38 reports of the rare condition among Viagra users.

U.S. health regulators said on Friday they have received more than 40 reports of a type of blindness in men taking impotence drugs, mostly involving Pfizer Inc.'s Viagra, but have not determined if the medicines were responsible.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it has received about 38 reports of the rare condition among Viagra users, four reports among users of Eli Lilly and Co.'s Cialis and one report in a man who took Levitra, made by GlaxoSmithKline Plc."
