VIAGRA WAS DESIGNED TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
Scientists who developed Viagra, or Sildenafil Citrate, were hoping it could lower blood pressure and treat Angina ? a heart problem. However, they were met with a surprising side-effect during clinical trials ? the male participants experienced erections, according to The BBC.
Curing erectile dysfunction became an incredibly lucrative side-effect for the drug And in 2007, its original purpose was vindicated. Scientists showed that as well as boosting blood flow to the penis, the drug could also increase the amount of blood sent to the heart and lungs, according to The British Heart Foundation.
