Erectile Dysfunction Drug Could Be Used To Treat Critical COVID-19 Cases by Kei144(m): 6:49am On Apr 02, 2020 |
During the process of creating drugs to treat various illnesses, sometimes there can be a side-effect that was not intended, and sometimes this can be a good thing. Take for example Viagra, which was originally developed to treat hypertension, but was later discovered to be more effective at treating erectile dysfunction. Now it looks like another erectile dysfunction drug has found another potential use beyond its original scope, and that is to treat critical COVID-19 cases. Known as Aviptadil (VIP), the drug was meant to treat erectile dysfunction, but it has also been found to help in the treatment of patients who are in the critical stages of COVID-19 where it could help stop acute respiratory distress syndrome. As it stands, there is no known cure for the COVID-19 virus that is plaguing the world. Doctors can only manage the symptoms and treat them as they appear, although with VIP showing promise, it could help healthcare workers in their fight against the virus while more specific treatments and vaccines are being worked on. This is important because drugs take time to develop and there also needs to be extensive tests to ensure that they are safe. However, by using already-available drugs, it could help relieve the current situation. Based on the tests, it seems that seven out of eight patients who were on ventilators showed substantial improvements after being given VIP, with six ultimately leaving the hospital alive. Before you get your hopes up of seeing VIP being used in treatments, it should be noted that the FDA has yet to approve the drug for public use. Instead, the FDA has issued a “study may proceed” letter to the companies that developed the drug, meaning they can now embark on a Phase 2 trial of the drug. https://www.ubergizmo.com/2020/04/erectile-dysfunction-drug-treat-covid-19/?utm_source=mainrss |

You know, some people pay good money for a professional breath play dominatrix to hang you slowly while stroking you to orgasm just before you lose your consciousness. It's said to be an incredible experience. I've seen it done. https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4335599/pg1 |

ED drugs were used on severe injuries, like my reattached digits, to improve blood flow to the injury. I expect that there would be better o2 exchange in the lungs when breathing since blood flow 'everywhere' improves. Will have to test the Viagra on a neighbor with covid19 to see if breathing improves. https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4335599/pg1 |

I cannot resist. We need a bit of humor to temper the doom. True story: One of my relatives worked in a nursing home. Doc wrote an order for an elderly man, "Administer 2000 mg. Viagra and measure dilation". The nurses gave the old man the med and used a measuring tape to check the dilation of his penis, i.e., the diameter. When the doc heard the results the next day, he exploded, "You idiots. I meant DILATION OF HIS CORONARY ARTERIES!" The patient was bewildered but pleased with the attention of the young nurses. https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4335599/pg2 |

It's true. They have been using Viagra for pulmonady hypertension since 2003. I used to work in hospiatals. We would keep it in the med dispensers on the floor, and nurses were always stealing doses. We eventually had to treat it as a controlled substance, like morphine, because they were stealing so much of it! Lol. https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4335599/pg2 |

Vasodilator. It would relax the blood vessels so they can carry more oxygen. It's the same thing that allows more blood in your penis. https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4335599/pg2 |

Well it's for the 50 % of deaths due to ARDS. If it works it's quite genius. I didn't know there were drugs for this issue that weren't vasodilators. Very intriguing, still it would just be one of the conditions they would be fighting but would negate the need for ventilators. I wish i had a dick joke but i got nothing... https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4335599/pg3 |

There was a warehouse full of the stuff up in San Mateo. About a week ago it was broken into and all of it stolen. Next day the police chief held a press conference and reported "We are looking for a gang of hardened criminals." https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4335599/pg3 |
