Now, son of Viagra comes to the rescue!
London: Here’s some good news for couples with a rocky bedroom life, scientists have created a new sex drug that works even faster than the commonly used Viagra.
Avanafil, dubbed as the ’son of Viagra’, starts working within 15 minutes instead of 30.
Unlike Viagra that takes minimum eight hours to wear off, the new drug takes just an hour and a half.
“It’s less likely to cause classic Viagra headaches and similar disturbances,” The Sun quoted Prof Francesco Sasso as saying.
Sasso said that Avanafil could be used by even by men on drugs for heart problems.
Is cannabis being doped with Viagra?
THAT illegal drugs are not always pure is no surprise, but is cannabis being laced with a Viagra-like compound?
Dries de Kaste and colleagues at the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment in Bilthoven, the Netherlands, analysed a liquid that police found being sold on the streets of Utrecht as a “marijuana adulterant”.
They found compounds called homosildenafil (HS) and thiohomosildenafil (THS) in it, which belong to the same class of compounds as sildenafil, sold as Viagra. All three inhibit the breakdown of an enzyme that dilates blood vessels in the penis, increasing blood flow.
WADA targets wonder drug Viagra
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) officials will decide next year if Viagra, the erectile-dysfunction drug, should be added to its list of prohibited substances.
A committee will review the findings of a study conducted by researchers at Marywood University on behalf of WADA to look at how the drug helps athletes cope with air pollution, as well as its effect on increasing performance at mild altitude.
“There have been studies that indicate that Viagra allows you to exercise at sea-level capacity at higher elevations,” said Kenneth Rundell, the director of Respiratory Research & Human Physiology Lab at Marywood.

Drained after work-out? Viagra may help
Viagra can overcome the signalling defect and relieve exercise-induced fatigue associated with muscular dystrophies, according to a new study.
Researchers at University of Iowa showed that Viagra could alleviate fatigue in the animals with mislocalized enzyme called neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). They also showed that there was a difference between the prolonged fatigue after mild exercise in muscular dystrophy patients and the inherent muscle
weakness caused by the disease.
The researchers identified a faulty signalling pathway that apparently leads to exercise-induced fatigue in mouse models of muscular dystrophy.
