Viagra now used to treat infants with lung defects

Read here:

Viagra, Pfizer Inc.’s male impotence treatment, is being used to save the lives of newborns with lung defects. The tablet is crushed and a portion dissolved in water before the drug is given to the babies to reduce blood pressure in the lungs. New York-based Pfizer is conducting trials on the use of Viagra in 1 to 16-year-olds.

Now while the drug is touted to be useful in pediatrics, recent studies say it can even be harmful to its adult users and can aggravate sleep apnea.
