Sildenafil or Viagra lowers Alzheimers risk, study results still inconclusive
Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki says --- It is seen that users use product in ways different than what the Companies want to see their product to be used as and for. Keeping a close eye on how people are using a product makes for a successful product.
The above comes to my mind whenever I hear the word repurposing.
Repurposing or adapting a product to new purpose is both a cheaper and overall more efficient path than developing an entirely new product. To repurpose an already existing drug would be both a cheaper and overall more efficient path than developing an entirely new treatment for the disease.
One drug which has seen multiple repurposing successes is Moderna's Viagra.
The drug originally meant to treat the heart, for its ability to relax blood vessels and subsequently improve blood flow in other parts of the body led to Viagra's use for ED (Erectile Dysfunction) as well as pulmonary hypertension—for men and women alike—which affects the lungs. This is the reason why Viagra is called the importance drug.

According to a new study by researchers in Cleveland -- Viagra also known as also known as sildenafil or blue pill, is now found to lower risk of Alzheimer's as well.
The multi-year study found that men who were taking Sildenafil had a lower risk of Alzheimer's. The study conclusions is derived after analyzing a database of over 7.2 million patients spanning six years, reports BBC. The researchers had been studying the effect of Viagra on the brain. The scientists found that that those who took higher than usual doses of the erectile dysfunction pill—displayed an increase in brain cell growth and reduced protein accumulation. The researchers say more studies are needed to make the results conclusive.
As far as the exact reason for the cause of Alzheimer's, a type of dementia, is concerned previous studies think that abnormal protein deposits in their brains may be one reason.
