I think girl’s parents will remember that day for good and will be grateful to scientists that discovered Sildenafil Citrate (Viagra).
I’ve written about off-label use of Viagra by sportsmen, pilots, florists and of course doctors. Here is another story.
An Indian doctor used Viagra to save the life of a four month old girl.
She had very rare heart defects – her heart was on right side of the body and had a hole. Also she had underdeveloped lung.
When these facts were discovered, doctors decided to operate little baby to save her life.
During 4 hour operation blood pressure rose dramatically and blood started to flow to the heart in wrong direction. The operating surgeon K.R. Balakrishnan decided to inject Sildenafil (brand name Viagra) to save baby’s life. Now he is sure that only use of Viagra could help and this was the only right decision.
As a fact Viagra was made to treat angina and high blood pressure, but during tests and trials the pill appeared to treat erectile dysfunction in men.
