Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are all in the same class of drugs called Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (cGMP-specific). I would expect Levitra and Cialis to be used for pulmonary arterial hypertension as well.

I don't believe this article.

Because it comes from the new york times.

I'll wait until it appears in a reputable news source, like, say, the weekly world news.

I think that's a matter of opinion!

This is very true. I did a bunch of reasearch on PPH(this lung disease) in Jan . of 2003 and herd of this. The Dr's thought my mom had PPH. Thank goodness she doesn't. It's a horrible disease. There is also alternative homeopathic trils being done with L'Arginine(SP) its an herb that has very similar effects as viagra.

They didn't even get the terminology right.

What's sildenafil? It's well known that the generic name of Viagra is micoxaphillin.

Hey, this is cool. Maybe if we combine Viagra and dextroamphetemines we'll all be thin, virile, and pulmonary-normotensive.

Did you hear about the theft of an entire truckload of Viagra?

The police put out an APB for a gang of hardened criminals.
