Viagra Interesting Facts

 

Viagra – Helping The Lungs Of Premature Babies

 Babies are considered premature if they are born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Preterm birth affects almost one in every ten infants born in the United States. Unfortunately, the more premature a baby is, the greater likelihood it will have severe or long-lasting health problems.Premature babies are typically born with immature lungs and many require a mechanical ventilator to breathe. A significant property of sildenafil (Viagra) is that it widens blood vessels inside the lungs, lowering pressure and allowing the lungs to function more efficiently.Tiny doses of Viagra allow doctors to reduce ventilator settings and eventually wean babies off a ventilator when the time is right 

 

Viagra Is One Of The Most Counterfeited Drugs In The World

 ast surveys have found that high percentages of products marketed on-line as Viagra, aren't actually Viagra. Fake Viagra is of serious concern, because it is impossible to know exactly what it contains and what side effects it could cause.The trouble is, fake Viagra can look EXACTLY like legitimate Viagra, with a few minor differences.

• Color consistency: Real Viagra is uniform in color. Fake Viagra may have variations of color within the same tablet, or between different tablets in the same packet. The color on one side of a fake tablet may look different from the color on the other side.
• Look at the "f" in Pfizer: The "f" is unique and hard to replicate, especially if you are making a stamp to mark individual pills. The stem on the real "f" doesn't start thinning out until it is almost at the top.
• Tablet shape: A real Viagra tablet has a distinct diamond shape with smooth edges. Fake Viagra tablets are usually quite jagged with an indent before the edge.
• Number of tablets per pack: Real Viagra is available in single packs or packs of 4. If your packet contains more than 4 tablets, it is likely counterfeit.

Always buy your Viagra through the correct channels and from a reputable source. Legitimate generics are available overseas, but not in the U.S. 

 

Viagra Makes Flowers Stand Up Straight

 Flowers are big business and the right flowers at the right time are a sure way to melt anybody's heart. However, once cut, most flowers have a very limited shelf life, so making flowers last longer is potentially lucrative.This research has even extended to Viagra. Israeli and Australian researchers found that 1mg of Viagra dissolved in a vase of water can double the shelf-life of cut flowers by retarding the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).There is a downside though. Viagra costs a lot, much more than nitric oxide - a gas which has much the same results for next to nothing. Perhaps in the future generic versions of Viagra may make this a more viable option for the flower industry. 

 

Viagra For Jet Lag – Really?

 Apparently so...if you are a hamster. A 2007 study by a few Argentinian researchers discovered that Viagra helped reset a hamster's circadian rhythm faster. The circadian rhythm is also known as the sleep-wake cycle, and in this experiment it was manipulated by adjusting how much light the hamsters were exposed to.Unfortunately, it is difficult to know how well this research translates to humans..or if it actually translates at all. Hamsters are very different to humans and because they weren't exactly flown halfway round the world, it is also difficult to know if adjusting light exposure has the same effect on circadian rhythms as flying. But it was a very quirky piece of research!
