Viagra is now ten years old

Not many people know that the original code name for Viagra was UK-92480 and that the first time that anyone realised that it could have commercial potential to deal with erectile dysfunction was when a doctor in Wales reported to his superiors at the drug company Pfizer that one of the side effects of the drug was enhanced erectile function.

Originally the drug was being tested to help men and women who suffered from angina and the results were not looking good. Pfizer was about to pull the clinical research but decided to the first investigate this strange side effect.  Five years later Viagra was born and now it is estimated that over 30 million men have used the drug worldwide.

Viagra is now ten years old and many people think it is one of the most revolutionary drugs that mankind has ever seen. There are definitely thousands of people alive today who would never have been born with it had not been for Viagra and thousands of relationships that have been rescued due to the drug. But the Viagra story does not just stop there as it has been put to many different applications. Viagra has been used to help people who have pulmonary arterial hypertension, heart problems, diabetes, premature ejaculation, multiple sclerosis and it is probable that in the future more applications for the drug will be found.

Research done recently in Argentina shows that people who took Viagra did not suffer so badly from jet lag and other research done in Israel shows that if you add a little bit of Viagra to the water in which you put cut flowers they will live for a longer time before they start to wilt.

At Ukmedix News we feel that the Viagra story has only just begun and that in years to come taking Viagra will be as common as popping an aspirin for a headache.
