The history of that little blue pill. Viagra (sildenafil) was originally researched as a medication to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). But it didn’t work for either very well. Then, supposedly as the story goes, a nurse noticed make trial participants laying on their back due to embarrassment from a certain side effect. And voila- viagra was born . Today we also use it to treat certain patients with pulmonary hypertension as well (Revatio) but is given three times a day . #Medicine #Cardiology #Viagra #HistoryOfMedicine #DocsOfInstagram #Nursing #MedSchool #LifeOfAMedStudent
