- geminitojanus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+45Surprise, Viagra was developed as a vasodilator for people with low blood pressures (where other vasodilators like nitroglycerin fail). It just so happened to have the side effect of helping men get erections, which is why it was marketed as such.
This isn't surprising in the least. - naughtymonkey69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34Easy to pick out that baby, it's the one with the pointy blanket in the delivery room...
- DerProfi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11There's any number of jokes in there somewhere, most of them probably starting like this:
Nurse: "Hmmm, there's something...ah...unexpected....showing up on your baby's sonogram." - hardwareguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Thats the only baby i know of that deserves this shirt
http://www.tshirthell.com/store/product.php?productid=370 - DCMacHead, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Wow! That sounds like a "Doc Hack", as opposed to a "Life Hack".
- centic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9The mother was 17?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Do you think the baby started to hit on the female nurses? lol
- CLShortFuse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Sounds like something out of House.
I can picture Cameron argue the morality of it all and Dr. House saying it'd be interesting to see if the baby'll get it up. - RomyNo1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4As I recall, they tested it for the heart, but it didn't work. And when they tried to stop the study, all the male participants refused the give the drug up. Or so the story goes.
Right now, it's being used for pulmonary hypertension in adults, so I'm really not surprised by this at all. - CLShortFuse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5um... like what i just said?
(okay digg this comment down now) - buttspeak, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8Sounds like something I needed when I was born. The trauma was so great from my birth I couldn't walk or talk for over a year after it.
- dylanrush, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"rogaine was originally designed as an anti-psychotic, but researchers discovered the side effect it had on patients in trials - regrowth of hair"
A ***** story. Just think about that for a second. Who would rub a random chemical on a guy's bald spot make him less crazy? - jcaino, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3yea, a lot of medical discoveries are accidents
rogaine was originally designed as an anti-psychotic, but researchers discovered the side effect it had on patients in trials - regrowth of hair - MrSir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thats what we call an off label use...
it simply means that the fda didn't approve this use and they can't advertise this use, although doctors and pharmacists should be aware that they can do that. Whatever it takes to heal people. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Viagra has been used off-label by the Neonatologist for several years now for adult and pediatric pulmonary hypertension. It works so much better than other drugs. It actually does have the sideeffect of giving the infants erections.
- KarmasAgent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'll dig you back up for it, that was funny. So rare in these often caustic posts... well done sir (i'm assuming "sir" as I know few women who single out their talking arses).
Cheers... Karma - Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Great. Have a medal.
- qpid, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Wow this sounds like an episode of House, I can almost hear House proposing this and Cuddy having and argument with him that it won't work...
- chicbicyclist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Dammit, I was loling quite a bit that I accidentally dugg you down. Sorry! The two others probably need their humor stick looked at, though.
- KarmasAgent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1a widdle itty-bitty baby boner

20mg x 120 pills $219.95 - johnnycourage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0viagra has been used (along with inhaled nitric oxide) for years in pediatric and neonatal cardiac patients to improve pulmonary blood flow secondary to pulmonary hypertension. this isn't news. the drug wasn't initially designed for use in erectile dysfunction. it stimulates nitric oxide production/release in the bloodstream. NO is an arterial vasodilator and by increasing the diameter of a tube, you reduce resistance and improve flow. the ED use was a useful and quite profitable side effect of the drug......
its still always funny when you tell a parent youre about to give their baby viagra..... - dylanrush, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Whilst? Are you 200 years old or something? We've been using "while" for awhile now.
Pretentious ass. - fLUx1337, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1By far the best use I have heard of for Viagra!

http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Viagra_used_to_save_baby_s_life - GawtMilk, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3Erections aren't a side effect. An erection happens when blood flows into the penis -- blood flow happens with vasodilators. They knew what would happen when they gave people Viagra.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2wow, this kid is going to be really horny when he is older
