Could Viagra reduce Alzheimer’s risk?

Using genetic and other biological data, researchers recently concluded that Viagra (sildenafil) might influence Alzheimer’s disease. When they analyzed insurance claims for prescriptions, they found that sildenafil scrips were associated with a 69% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s in claimants. Laboratory tests on nerve cells from people with Alzheimer’s supported the notion that sildenafil may treat the disease. However, the researchers emphasize that only clinical trials can provide definitive proof that sildenafil is an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s.
