Viagra Used to Treat PPH in Babies

July 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Recent studies have shown that the drug known as Viagra has been successful in the treatment of primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) in infants. Viagra, best known to treat erectile dysfunction in adult males, has proven to be effective as a pulmonary dilator.

According to doctors, Viagra works to loosen and relax the constricted arteries of a baby suffering from PPH. The Viagra therapy allows the blood to flow more naturally through the lung arteries as it loosens the vessels.

Infants are given the drug in liquid form, making it easier for them to swallow. While Viagra treatments can carry some risks for infants, the overall benefits of the drug have already saved many lives.
