Tadalafil Linked to Glaucoma Risk | Auckland News

from Auckland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New research reveals a startling link between long-term use of tadalafil — the erectile dysfunction drug also used for enlarged prostate — and a 22% higher risk of developing glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. While not proof of causation, this large-scale study is the first to show a clear correlation, sparking concern among doctors. Experts warn that while the overall risk remains low, men on long-term tadalafil — especially those with glaucoma risk factors — should prioritize regular eye exams. Australian health professionals stress: don’t stop the medication without consulting your doctor, but do ramp up monitoring to catch any issues early and preserve vision.
