Viagra The Heart Drug Of The Future

At Ukmedix we have been following the Viagra story since its inception...

More evidence that Viagra is likely to be the heart drug of the future is emerging all of the time. Originally the sildenafil drug started off its life as a treatment for angina but was soon stopped after the results for this ailment were deemed to be pretty poor.

The fact that Pfizer realised that they were onto something incredible with the so called side affects of the “angina” drug meant that they soon stopped the heart research with sildenafil and concentrated on the effects on the penile artery that have come to be worth billions of pounds.

The recent stories involving a 2 year old and a 6 month old baby and the fact that Viagra is credited with saving both of their lives means that the money men from Pfizer will be looking for new ways to exploit the sildenafil citrate compound and this could mean that thousands of people who suffer from heart problems all over the world may require Viagra in the same way that an impotent man requires the drug.

At Ukmedix we have been following the Viagra story since its inception and we have even heard of reports that Viagra could be used to treat cancer in the future as it can make cells more receptive to cancer treatments.

Research has already been done on animals with Viagra and the effects that it has on a stressed heart, and the results were initially good. Nevertheless much more work needs to be done and especially to make sure that the drug will be safe for people who have serious heart defects. The concerns about sildenafil are also that it can react with other drugs designed to lower blood pressure and this can be fatally dangerous.

There are clear warnings that Viagra must not be taken with nitrates that are designed to lower blood pressure and the double effect of both these drugs could be very dangerous.
