Viagra could do more than advertised as study reveals surprising health superpower

Viagra could do more than give men a boost in the bedroom, as new research suggests it may have benefits for cancer patients.

The prescription medication, which is manufactured and distributed by Viatris, is commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow during sexual stimulation.

It was originally developed to treat high blood pressure and chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart before researchers discovered its unexpected effect on erectile function during clinical trials.
