Brace yourselves, Shielas

Research published in the World Journal of Men’s Health found evidence that drugs such as Viagra and Cialis may also help with heart disease, stroke risk and diabetes, as well as enlarged prostate and urinary problems.

Presumably we’re about to get to where one or t’other is handed out like statins.

Which will be fun, no?

Makes sense though. It is designed to open blood vessels. Blood pressure reduction was its initial purpose. Probably lots of other uses for fast moving blood.

I thought Viagra was developed when they were looking for something to use against angina.

Can remember the specifics, but yes, something like that.

Story I was told was that they usually ask for the leftover tablets back at the end of the trial, but this time there was a lot more reluctance to do so, so they started asking questions.

Don’t know whether it’s true, but it should be.

Yes that’s true, but isn’t angina a restriction of the veins and vessels ?

That’s how -pril blood pressure medicines work, by opening up the vessels, but without quite such…dramatic effects.

Is is the effects of the dug or the activity the drug enables that is most beneficial to men’s health?

What works. I believe there have been several studies revealing the benefits of, er, keeping your tubes clear.

All very well, but what do the experts at the BBC and the BMA say?

As an old bloke I’m glad to be on regular Cialis – thanks to it I don’t piss on my slippers during micturation.
