Viagra to Help Lung Conditions

Viagra Seems To Be The New Wonder Drug.

There's Yet Another Medical Condition The Little Blue Pill.. Can Help.

It's Pulmonary Fibrosis.. And Most Patients Only Live Three Years After Diagnosis.

Scarring On The Lungs Makes It Hard To Breathe.. And Hard For Oxygen To Get Into The Blood Stream.

Fourteen Patients Took Viagra.. And Their Walking Distance Improved 20-Percent After Three Months.

Dr. David Zisman/UCLA: "Improving The Blood Flow Through The Vessels That Feed The Lungs And By Doing That We're Improving The Overall Circulation Through The Lungs And The Oxygenation Improves."

Viagra Is Mainly Used For Sexual Disfunction. But Its Impact On Blood Flow Also Suggests It May Help Patients Recover Faster From A Heart Attack Or A Stroke.

As For Treating Pulmonary Fibrosis.. The National Institutes Of Health Is Planning A Nationwide Study.. To See If These Results Hold True On A Wider Scale.
