How does viagra work?

Sobre este episódio

Ever since it hit the market, the little blue pill known as viagra has transformed the sex lives of millions of couples around the world. Viagra was developed by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, and was first made available to the American public soon after FDA approval in March 1998. Within just two weeks, 15,000 prescriptions had been written in the United States. An article published in the Pharmaceutical Journal in 2017 stated that at that time it had “been prescribed for more than 64 million men worldwide”, while a report by The Guardian from the same year said that the stigma around erectile dysfunction had faded, citing NHS figures which showed that viagra prescriptions had nearly tripled over the preceding decade.
