Researchers Say the Drug May Help Performance at High Altitude, Help Soldiers Fight in Afghanistan

As the commercials continually remind us: Viagra is all about performance.

Now it turns out, that’s not just referring to in the bedroom.

Researchers say the drug, approved for erectile dysfunction, could eventually help some athletes train at high altitudes and soldiers fight in the mountains of Afghanistan.

In a study at Stanford University, some volunteers riding stationary bicycles and breathing through masks to simulate the low oxygen conditions found at 12,700 feet, improved their times for six kilometers by an average of 39 percent after taking Viagra.

Viagra may help some women.

Women can benefit from taking the impotence drug Viagra, scientists have claimed.

Research by a team from the University of Boston has found that the drug can benefit women who have had a hysterectomy or who have gone through the menopause.

In both cases, women experience a loss of production of female hormones that can lead to sexual problems, such as loss of sensation and lubrication.

Dr Jennifer Berman tested the drug on 17 women who had either had a hysterectomy or gone through the menopause.

Each woman got either Viagra or a dummy pill, and three months later the women who got Viagra were switched to a placebo and the women who had been given sugar pills got Viagra.
