No doubt Viagra is the best available option for the treatment of erectile dysfunction but if you its only thought that Viagra or any other PDE-5 are just for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, you may need to give a second thought for this. Despite treatment of erectile dysfunction these drugs had shown a lot of character in the treatment of other serious disorders as well. A recent report reveals that PDE 5 inhibitors are effective in the treatment of problems related to poor blood circulation and other areas of medical research related to circulation of blood.
What is PDE-5? PDE-5, (phosphodiesterase-5), is an enzyme that causes blood vessels to constrict, thus reducing flow. Before actually knowing how Viagra cures or is helpful in curing other disorders let us first discuss the function of these drugs. Viagra and other such drugs like Cialis and Levitra work on the same concept, they increase the blood flow in a man's sexual organ by inhibiting the enzyme's effects which gradually results in proper erection.
Beyond Erectile Dysfunction: Below is the list of disorders wherein
Viagra has given promising as well as positive results -
Chronic Heart Failure - Viagra has helped chronic heart failure patients to metabolize more oxygen when they exercise and research shows that Peak oxygen uptake had improved 18%, and blood vessels were responding more appropriately among patients who exercise regularly.
Heart Attacks-- the use of Sildenafil reduced the amount of heart damage by half in rabbits with replicated heart attacks. This can be very constructive during heart surgery.
Cardiac Pressure Overload --Researches had shown that in mice, hypertropic condition is avoided with introduction of sildenafil in the blood.
Pulmonary hypertension -Pulmonary hypertension occurs when the blood pressure rises inside the lungs and makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood to the lungs. Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) facilitates children with this disease to be livelier and to survive longer by helping the blood vessels dilate or relax. Liver Disease -- Problems with the liver can lead to elevated levels of ammonia in the blood, which causes impaired mental abilities. The increase in blood flow induced by Viagra made the blood free from excess ammonia. Kidney Disease -- Sildenafil reverses the effect of nephrogenic diabetes in mice. Fetal Growth Restriction -- Sildenafil caused restricted blood vessels to widen in pregnant women with FGR. Conclusion: The magical ED pills are pumping up in other fields of medication as well and showing a lot of positive results. However Viagra has been approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction by the FDA, hopefully it would soon be approved for the treatment of other disorders as well.
