Queen’s researchers find another use for Viagra

Since its introduction in Canada 10 years ago, Viagra has proven to be a wonder drug for men suffering erectile dysfunction.

In that time, it has also been found useful in fighting sickness among mountain climbers, pulmonary hypertension and helping people who have experienced congestive heart failure.

Now a team of researchers at Queen’s University may have found another practical application for the little blue pill – reducing blood clotting around stents that have been implanted in coronary arteries to maintain blood flow.

Viagra could perform its part effectively, never the less but it also accounts for its devastating side effects that include wonky willies flatulence, toothache and hiccups!

Girl suspended over Viagra pills

A teenage girl has been suspended from school after giving Viagra pills to fellow pupils.

The student at Frome Community College in Somerset brought in the prescription drugs and gave them to fellow students.

Headteacher Wendy Missons would not confirm any details of the suspension, including the ages of the pupils involved.

Miss Missons said the sensitive matter was dealt swiftly.

“It is inappropriate to discuss the details of this case because there is a family involved and I am not going to talk about someone’s private life,” she said.

FDA approves once-a-day Cialis

Indianapolis, Indiana—Drug maker Eli Lilly and Co. has received FDA approval to offer its erectile dysfunction drug, Cialis, in a new daily dose.

The daily version will take pressure off users who would otherwise have a “shot clock” or window of effectiveness to worry about, Lilly officials say. Cialis also is offered at a higher dose that provides a 36-hour window.

With the daily dose, men will not need to take Cialis in anticipation of sex because it is already in their system, said Shawn Heffern, Lilly’s U.S. marketing director for the drug.

Viagra, Cialis And Levitra Side Effects Very Similar

Two urology departments in Yorkshire in the United Kingdom have just finished research in which they examined the relative side effects of the three erectile dysfunction medications Viagra, Cialis and Levitra and have concluded that on the whole there is very little difference between the three.

York District Hospital based in York and the St James University Hospital in Leeds specifically wanted to examine whether the fact that the Cialis erectile dysfunction medication had a longer half life than Viagra and Levitra meant that the side effects would be more severe. The conclusion was that the men who used Cialis were more likely to suffer from the side effects for a longer time but they were not more severe. In fact the researchers noted that men using Cialis reported less problems with one of the PDE-5 side effects which is facial flushing.
