Ahhh, the irony: "Study: Viagra reduces heart stress." |
|
http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-20051024-21424100-bc-us-viagra.xml"...study confirms sildenafil helps control heart function only when the heart is under duress, but has little impact under normal conditions." I'd say considering it's primary use, that's good news. :rofl:

1. Actually Viagra was originally developed as a cardiac drug |
|
Until they found out about that "side effect". If you were big pharma, what would you do, market it as a cardiac drug...when there are literally hundreds of other drugs that have similar cardiac properties? Or be the first out of the blocks with a revolutionary ED drug.
HMMMM

4. I went on it primarily to quit smoking a couple months ago, as well. |
|
Now I'm on it AND the patch. So far, I've made it 3 1/2 days w/out a sweet, sweet, stick of heaven. The Wellbutrin didn't help with my quitting issues, but I will concede, did have other side-effects my husband considers well worth the $25 a month prescription. :rofl:
