Tadalafil's Hidden Threat: The Unseen Link Between ED Medication and Glaucoma Risk A recent study from Taiwan has sparked concern in the medical community, warning that long term use of tadalafil may increase glaucoma risk by a third.
This finding is significant, but its implications extend beyond immediate alarm to broader concerns about patient safety. Tadalafil's effect on blood pressure is a key factor in this increased risk.
As a vasodilator, the medication relaxes muscles and expands blood vessels, improving circulation. However, this same mechanism can also lead to decreased intraocular pressure, a major glaucoma risk factor.
