Viagra to aid on jet lag
May 23rd, 2007 Shobe_ceo
Viagra (scientifically known as “sildenafil citrate”) is no longer a mere blue pills for male impotence. It has recently been found that viagra pills can help recover from jet lag up to 50 percent faster.
Pfizer, the world’s largest drug maker, is marketing Viagra to treat erectile dysfunction, as approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1998. However, recent research has found Viagra to also help re-set the body’s internal clock, aiding to a faster recovery from jet-lags. Researches said that Viagra interferes with an enzyme that lowers levels of a naturally occurring compound that plays a role in the regulation of teh circadian cycle (body’s internal clock).
Scientists conducted a test on adult male hamsters to check for the validity of the research. And the result for the test was positive. Viagra did help the hamster adjust well on jet-lag. However, it was only helpful on eastbound flights, and not on westbound flights. Also, this research is yet to be tested on humans.
This shows a good potential for the Viagra market. Who knows, one day, a sexy flight attendant may be giving you a blue pill as you board the plane. But until then, men can simply enjoy viagra as prescribed by doctors.
