Viagra – A Lifesaver for Premature Babies
Currently trials are underway to see if Viagra can boost
survival in babies that are not growing properly in the womb. It is hoped that
Viagra will increase blood supply to the womb and placenta so that more
nutrients and oxygen reach the baby. This helps it to continue growing in the
womb, avoiding the health problems that result from premature birth.
Viagra Is One of the Most Counterfeited Drugs in the World
The demand for Viagra is very high because a lot of people
want to try it out, but not everyone is prepared to pay full price. This
presents an excellent opportunity for generic drug manufacturers to launch fake
versions of Viagra and sell them cheaply. Make sure you get your Viagra through
the correct channels and from a reputable source so that you don’t end up with
counterfeit Viagra.
Viagra Makes Flowers Stand up Straight
It appears Viagra is good not only for treating male
impotence. Israeli and Australian researchers have discovered that small
concentrations of the drug dissolved in a vase of water can also double the
shelf life of cut flowers, making them stand up straight for as long as a week
beyond their natural life span.
Viagra for Jet Lag – Really?
Tests on lab
hamsters showed that Viagra may help people overcome jet lag faster. The study
showed that Viagra helped the hamsters reset circadian rhythms faster (sleep -
wake cycle) measuring their recovery by how quickly they hopped back onto their
exercise wheels. It is important to note that the drug only worked in
conjunction with light therapy, and only in one time direction - the equivalent
to flying eastbound.
Viagra for Increasing Athletic Performance
Athletes have been documented using Viagra believing it to
enhance their performance. There is no evidence to suggest this is the case but
that doesn't seem to stop them from trying Viagra. There is also no evidence to
support the idea that Viagra and anabolic steroids, when taken together,
enhance or accelerate steroid delivery.
Viagra Is Helping to Save Endangered Species
The discovery of
Viagra and its wondrous ability to cure erectile dysfunction is saving
endangered species as many men switch from using animal parts to treat the
condition. In places like China, Viagra is replacing traditional medicines
including potions made from rhino horn, tiger bones, seal penises and reindeer
antler velvet which is good news for these animals.
Viagra – CIA’s Weapon against Taliban
In the war in Afghanistan, CIA agents would exchange Viagra
for information about the Taliban with tribal chiefs. These ageing warlords
often had much younger wives or more than one wife to satisfy.
Viagra Is Not a Sex Stimulant
Many people think
that Viagra is an aphrodisiac or a sex stimulant. When a person has problems
with libido Viagra will not help. It helps to improve blood circulation to the
penis. It does not increase sexual urge.
Viagra for Woman?
Studies are ongoing on to see whether Viagra can play a
role in improving the sex lives of women. No conclusive results have been
obtained so far and therefore it is not recommended to be used by women.
Viagra - A Treatment for Prostate Cancer
A group of
researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University have found that Viagra can be
useful in the treatment of prostate cancer when used in combination with
doxorubicin. The drug combination has also been found useful in the treatment
of ovarian and stomach cancer.
Viagra - A Treatment for Pulmonary Hypertension and
Mountain Sickness
Pulmonary Hypertension is a medical condition associated
with high blood pressure in the blood vessels going to the lungs. Sildenafil,
the active ingredient in Viagra, lowers the pulmonary pressure and has been
approved by the FDA for both men and women for this non-sexual purpose (under
the trade name Revatio). Viagra may also be useful in treating mountain
sickness because it lowers pulmonary pressure and enables a climber to exercise
in low oxygen conditions or at high altitude.
