DALLAS (AP) - Children suffering from a rare and fatal lung disease were able to walk farther and breathe easier after taking the impotence pill Viagra, a small study suggests.
Researchers say that use of the drug to treat these very sick children, suffering from pulmonary hypertension, needs more study. But they called these early results promising.
"I think that it's an important finding, but an awful lot more work has to go into finding its place in treatment," said lead study author Dr. Ian Adatia, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of California San Francisco Children's Hospital.
