Viagra Could Reduce The Risk Of Alzheimer’s Disease by 70% A New Study Finds
New research published in Nature suggests that Pfizer’s erectile dysfunction drug Viagra can decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by up to 69%.
The research found that the medication has a direct effect on brain health and significantly reduces the toxic proteins that can cause dementia.
The study’s findings are so promising that the drug may someday be used to counter dementia. A new team of experts is preparing to conduct another study that builds on this data but tests the generic version of Viagra — sildenafil — in patients suffering from early Alzheimer’s.
