Viagra is 10 years old

Specific arousal remedies where known and used for a long time. This year Viagra celebrates its anniversary since the approval for use has been given by FDA in USA. The name of the drug fast has become commonly used for all the medicine that helps to sustain and help achieve erection. But we should not think that before Viagra has been launched the strong sex has not been using any other means to treat this illness. Thousands of years ago many natural specific remedies have been known to treat erectile dysfunction, including tree bark and dried lizards.

The are evidence that arousal remedies that had nearly the same effect as Viagra were known for a long time. Mostly there were used preparations that had ephedrine in it. The power of the herbs was so praised that it was carved on the stone walls and even buried with the dead.

Other preparations that were used for treatment of erectile dysfunction are:

• Dried scorpions
• dried lizards
• Ginseng Wine
• Cannabis, opium
• Scorpion poison mixed with natural juice
• Ambra from the whales stomach
• Different mushrooms

Unlike the above mentioned preparations Viagra is a drug that does not express such specific side-effects, and is very efficient in treatment of erectile dysfunction. And as many other great discoveries in the world it has been discovered accidentally. Firstly this preparation was intended for use in people with hypertension, but during trials new specific properties have been discovered like possibility of treatment of erectile dysfunction. The drug did not exert the needed effect in hypertension but the side-effects were the once that interested the researchers. Three thousand men that participated in the trial have refused to return the preparation. And now it is the drug mostly used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
