Default Viagra

Ok guys...I'm asking this for a friend....I know I know "yea right". Looking at the side affects of Viagra suggests that it's use would compromise a pilots medical.

Does anyone know for sure? If so are there any other ED LEDs that can be used without affecting a medical?

Unless you experience an erection lasting more than four hours.

There are other less "fun" side affects. Blue/blurry vision - or so I'm told.

An additional side effect (specific to pilot usage), is long-term use will make an individual taller.
