Sex drug “effective” as heart treatment

Interesting article on research conducted by the British Heart Foundation & University of Manchester showing that Tadilafil may be helpful in combating heart failure.

Sex drug ‘effective’ as heart failure treatment

Cialis (Tadilafil) has previously been approved by the FDA for use in treating BPH (prostate). I think it is exciting that a treatment for one area of the cardio vascular system is showing benefit to other areas.

This whole class of drugs originally were developed as a way to control angina but the noted side affect of erection increase, well they knew what would make more money.

Didnt know that, thanks for clarifying. I’m guessing the ED market is the much more profitable area.

Interesting reading, thank you for sharing 32 Quarters.
