Brief Answer:
I don't think it is due to side effect of medicine
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for consulting HealthCareMagic!
As you are saying it happened overnight, a physical examination by a Physician is mandatory to confirm whether there is any abnormality or just a temporary change which you might have not properly recognized. The medications you have listed usually does not cause such a change just in an over night. Usually, when erect, penis curves slightly to the left or right. However, physical examination is needed to know whether it is normal variant.
Other cause which might cause curving is Peyronie’s disease in which there is a hard plaque in the shaft of penis. This usually occurs after age 45 but can occur at any age. But, do not be worried, since from the description which you have given, I do not think that there is any big problem. Anyhow, I suggest you to make him see genitourinary medicine clinic or a Urologist.
Hope I have answered your query. If you are satisfied please proceed with closing and rating this answer.
Wish you a good health!

I have been looking up peyrones disease and if he has to have an operation to fix it how much shorter does the penis end up. He also has erectile dysfunction since taking digoxin and bisaprolol so has to take Viagra. Does Viagra viagra and vedafil all have the same ingredient because he has changed from aviagra to vedafil. Or would Cialis( not sure how to spell it) be better I heard their is a long and short acting one.
Brief Answer:
Please do not get think about operation now
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the follow up. Sorry for the delay in replying.
First of all, I want to reassure you that it may not be Peyronie’s disease as it cannot occur just overnight. We need confirmation of diagnosis first. Please do not get worried about surgery now. We can discuss about it if the diagnosis gets confirmed.
Regarding viagra, it has similar composition as Vedafil. However, I cannot comment and do recommendations on these drugs or Cialis, since a physical examination is mandatory to do so. Today’s research indicates that a move toward individualizing the dosing of prescription agents is warranted and it can happen only after physical consultation. Your treating doctor will guide about these drugs.
