Viagra For Babies? Sildenafil Found To Prevent Rebound Pulmonary Hypertension In Infants

ScienceDaily (Nov. 2, 2006) — A single dose of sildenafil, a blood vessel widening vasodilator (also sold under the brand name Viagra), prevented rebound pulmonary hypertension and significantly reduced the duration of mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit (ICU) infants being withdrawn from inhaled nitric oxide therapy.

This research appears in the first issue for November 2006 of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, published by the American Thoracic Society.

Lara Shekerdemian, M.D., of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, and five associates gave a single dose of sildenafil to 15 infants undergoing withdrawal from inhaled nitric oxide therapy. None experienced rebound pulmonary hypertension, a common therapeutic complication.

Are they supposed to seek medical attention if they are still breathing hard after 4 hours?

You do realize that "Viagra" was originally inteded as a anti-hypertensive. Low and behold the clinical trials started sporting wood. Yo would be amazed at how many drugs start out to treat one thing and end up marketed for something else....
