"Oddly enough, Viagra will be remembered as one of the most important drugs of the "almost 21st Century" (1998).
The first reason is the obvious one. But the importance of the first major anti-erectile dysfunction drug meant that the market for aphrodisiacs made from endangered animals crashed, thus saving several species from extinction. Even more so, Viagra also works on most mammals, so encouraged endangered animals to reproduce.
The other huge effect is that Viagra was quickly recognized as one of the most important pediatric drugs. That is, premature infants have great difficulty in getting their lungs and capillaries opened for healthy blood flow. This substantially improves their health much faster, especially in a higher oxygen incubator."- Fascinating. It was originally developed to improve blood flow.monospaced
