Viagra Related Side Affects....

   Viagra has been found to stimulate the formation of blood clots, which could explain the occurance of heart attacks and strokes experienced by men taking the drug. Scientists have found that Viagra actually has a stimulatory role in clumping platelets, which is a common cause in heart attacks and strokes.

   Platelets are blood components that help form blood clots and repair damaged blood vessels. Researchers found a compound in the body called cyclic guanosine monophosphate, or cGMP, that was long thought to inhibit platelet clumping and blood clots actually does the opposite. Viagra raises the cGMP level and to date over 500 people have died while taking Viagra from heart attack or stroke.

   In this research, which appears in the Jan. 10 issue of the journal Cell, scientists obtained platelets from normal, healthy individuals and exposed them to Viagra. The researchers noted clumping was seen with Viagra concentrations much lower than normally used for treating erectile dysfunction.

   In patients taking Viagra, several heart-related side effects have been reported, including heart attack, sudden death, irregular heart rhythm, stroke, chest pain, and increased blood pressure. It is estimated that over 20 million people have taken the drug Viagra. People with a history of heart disease or anyone at risk of strokes should never take Viagra.
