| The potential effects on the heart are true, but are not considered common effects. (You added the cardiovascular effects after I read your original post.) I still don't see tissue damage or permanent loss of potency listed, but I didn't read the entire thing. (Too long.) This is the portion from your link that matches my drug guides:
TABLE 2. ADVERSE EVENTS REPORTED BY ≥2% OF PATIENTS TREATED WITH Viagra; a causal relationship to Viagra is uncertain. Reported events include those with a plausible relation to drug use (note that these effects also occurred to a lesser degree with placebos.)
Abnormal Vision: Mild and transient, predominantly color tinge to vision, but also increased sensitivity to light or blurred vision. In these studies, only one patient discontinued due to abnormal vision.
Headache 16%
Flushing 10%
Dyspepsia 7%
Nasal Congestion 4%
Urinary Tract Infection 3%
Abnormal Vision* 3%
Diarrhea 3%
Dizziness 2%
Rash 2% The following events occurred in <2% of patients in controlled clinical trials; a causal relationship to Viagra is uncertain. Reported events include those with a plausible relation to drug use; omitted are minor events and reports too imprecise to be meaningful:
