A nurse who spent 28 days in a Covid coma fighting for her life has been saved after medics gave her Viagra.
Mother-of-two Monica Almeida, 37, from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, was just three days away from having her ventilator turned off.
Mrs Almeida was given the erectile dysfunction drug by her colleagues at Lincoln County Hospital.
The ‘miracle’ drug caused her condition to improve in just a week and the level of oxygen she needed to drop by half as it opened up her airwaves.
'I had a little joke with the consultant after I came round because I knew him.
'He told me it was the Viagra, I laughed and thought he was joking, but he said 'no, really, you've had a large dose of Viagra.'
'It was my little Christmas miracle,' she told the Sun.
The specialist respiratory nurse, who works for NHS Lincolnshire and was born in Portugal, first tested positive for the virus in October.
Despite being double-jabbed, she lost her taste and smell and was coughing up blood on the fourth day.
After visiting hospital when her oxygen levels dropped, she was discharged - but soon after was rushed to Lincoln County Hospital as she was unable to breathe.
As her condition deteriorated she was taken to the ICU where she was placed in a medical coma on the 16 November.
The nurse was so ill that her parents were advised to fly over from Portugal to say their goodbyes.
But in the eleventh hour doctors decided to use the unusual treatment which had previously been suggested as a way to treat Covid patients as it dilates blood vessels and opens the airways.
She emerged from her coma in time for Christmas on the 14 December and was allowed to return to her family on Christmas

We will now hear the medical establishment talk about how terrible and dangerous viagra is. Viagra will now become the target of medical demonization.
Makes you wonder why doctors are not using vasodilators on people before they get so bad they have to go on ventilators.
they know o2 deficiency makes peoples conditions get worse
why not help the cardiac and respiratory systems out a bit?
because they want people to die, thats why
The medical duct tape
It's a ventilator? Wow! I learn something new here every day.
It is FDA approved to treat pulmonary hypertension (high pressures in the vessels in the lungs). So probably not off-latel.
off-label
‘It was my little Christmas miracle,’
generic viagra has actually been used for some time for pulmonary hypertension, IIRC....
Correct. Believe as the brand name Revatio it has a patent extension and exclusivity for 80mg/day dosing for Right Sided Congestive Heart disease... pulmonary hypertension. The agent was in phase trials for this indication and approval, when, during the double blinded placebo controlled trials some placebos were clearly not placebos (the side effect of vascular erectile tissue being perfused, and voila- up goes Bob’s uncle john). The placebo group were discovered to having secreted their “dosing” (in the pill counts done with all groups) and the researchers questioned the study members, who revealed the desirable response. All true, and verified by clinicians supervising and enrolled in the trials.
Apparently venodiilator autocorrects to ventilator
Because in study after study nitric oxide demonstrates no improvement in mortality at day 28 although it may cause temporary improved oxygenation in ABG. There is no improvement in endpoint.
So please understand that this was studied extensively about 15 years ado with no demonstrable benefit. In other words you are about 15 years behind
This particular case seems to fly in the face of that. As Viagra prevents the breakdown of nitric oxide, allowing for the blood vessels to dilate to a greater effect.
I’m sure the woman is happy to be alive with a doctor who decided to administer this, and not another death statistic.
Bless these Doctors for actually practicing medicine. There are a multitude of drugs that work off label.
I wonder what venodilator corrects to? :)
(just kidding around)
I think most people have forgotten this. It is good to be reminded.
Mother-of-two Monica Almeida, 37, from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, was just three days away from having her ventilator turned off.
I don't understand: Had she forgotten to pay her electric bill?!
Regards,
Viagra for ED is actually off label.
“Sildenafil, the chemical name for Viagra, is an artificial compound that was originally synthesized and studied to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (a form of cardiovascular disease).”
This.🙄
And everyonehere has mentioned viagra was known to be good at dealing with pulmonary hypertension.
This is exactly the condition those that warned what would occur with these vaxxes. Microclots in the lung alveoli from blood clots caused by the spike proteins affecting blood cells and the cells lining the insides of blood vessels, making them irregular and sticky. no longer being able to flow through the narrowest blood vessels. Microclots. When it happens in the lungs, its called.....pulmonary hypertension. And when people are diagnosed with it on average they have 3 years of life left.
Many doctors who warned the vaxxes woild cause this were laughed at, and scoffed at, from many on this site as well. This comfirms these vaxxed people are coming down with pulmonary hypertension, other cases have also shown, and this case also shows viagra, acting as a vasodilator by keeping more nitric oxide intact in the body by preventing its breakdown, will help people suffering from vaccine induced pulmonary hypertension.
IE Viagra makes the tiny blood vessels remain larger so the damaged sticky blood has a better chance to pass through capillaries and alveoli.
So this shows this will help for those suffering from death shot induced clotting.
Do a search for “viagra and Alzheimer’s”. NIH research finds a 79% reduction in the occurrence of Alzheimer’s in men who used the drug. Research shows a reduction in plaque and nerve tangles in the brain. It appears it’s not a cure or treatment but a preventative.
