Viagra may help men live longer and reduce risk of heart disease

Viagra isn’t just good for your sex life anymore, it may also be linked to a longer lifespan in men. Viagra is used to treat erectile dysfunction or high blood pressure in the lungs by relaxing muscles and arteries so blood can flow better.

Study

A new study found that men who took the little blue pill after having a heart attack lived for years after without further heart complications. In the study researches sought to determine how Viagra affected men with coronary artery disease and compare the results with men that use alprostadil, which has the same function.

According to the study, Viagra worked better that alprostadil at extending lifespans and lowering the risks of having another heart attack.
