Priapismus ist eine sehr seltene Nebenwirkung von Viagra. In der Tat gibt es keinen nachgewiesenen Zusammenhang zwischen der Einnahme von Viagra und ähnlichen Medikamenten und dem Auftreten von Priapismus, da viele Männer mit Priapismus eine Reihe anderer Medikamente eingenommen haben. So meldete die FDA im Jahr 2007 nur 93 Fälle von Priapismus, die durch die Einnahme von Viagra, Levitra und Cialis ersteapotheke24.com zusammen verursacht wurden – und das zu einer Zeit, in der zig Millionen Menschen mit diesen Medikamenten behandelt wurden.

Hear from our emcee, WaveMaker Awards finalists, and board members who were interviewed by Miss Shannan Paul from Twin Cities Film Fest!
