VIAGRA AND EXTRA USES
The Viagra drug was introduced in 1998 and was used by 16 million American males for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is the condition in which a person does not get erection to perform sexual activity. The main reason behind getting Erectile Dysfunction is that the blood flow to the penis is not appropriate as it is required by the penis to get erect.
You will be amazed if I say that small as well as new born babies are given Viagra tablets or syrup to treat some of the health problems. Yes, it is true and children with pulmonary hypertension are given Viagra to cure this problem. Pulmonary hypertension is a rare condition in which the artery carrying blood from the heart to the lungs becomes constricted. Viagra has been effective in treating this problem as it has been effective and wonder drug in curing Erectile Dysfunction.
Viagra relaxes the arterial wall which leads to decreased pulmonary arterial resistance and pressure. Decrease in resistance and pressure of pulmonary arteries reduces the workload of the right ventricle of the heart and improves right side heart failure symptoms.
In 1998 FDA approved Viagra just for treating Erectile Dysfunction but in 2005 Pfizer got approval from FDA for using Viagra for treating Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
Viagra is available by prescription from a doctor. But now you can also order or buy Viagra online as there are so many pharmacies which provide free consultation on erectile dysfunction and usage of various drugs.
