Viagra could be Beneficial for Women's Heart
29 August , 2005
Viagra, the
wonder drug used for boosting men's sex lives, is also effective
against pulmonary arterial hypertension, which mostly affects women.
The Food and Drug Administration of the U.S. cleared the drug for
use against pulmonary arterial hypertension in June 2005 after clinical
trials. In Australia, it is undergoing the approval process set
by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
The research on Viagra's ability to treat heart disease was pioneered
by German scientists Friedrich Grimminger and Werner Seeger.

pulmonary arterial hypertension would be called Revatio, and would
come in a different color and shape to Viagra. Both Viagra and Revatio
would have the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate.
