Anvisa warns of heart attack and stroke risks from erectile dysfunction medications

Medications for erectile dysfunction can cause heart attack and stroke. Brazil's health regulatory agency, Anvisa, warned about the dangers of indiscriminate use of erectile dysfunction drugs like sildenafil and tadalafil. These prescription-only medications, when used without medical guidance, can lead to serious health issues including heart attack, stroke, sudden blood pressure drops, and vision or hearing loss. Anvisa also cautioned against irregular sales of these compounds in gummies and supplements.
