Viagra, the trade or market name for the drug Sildenafil, has famously been prescribed for use by men to manage erectile dysfunction. It has also, however, been recommended by doctors for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, or high blood pressure. The pharmaceutical has also been used to treat altitude sickness, as well as jet lag. The drug was developed by Pfizer and first became available in the United States in 1998.
A number of clinical trials have demonstrated a wide range of potential side effects from the use of Viagra, from headaches, indigestion and nasal congestion to impaired vision, from low blood pressure to stroke, heart attack and even hearing loss.
