i don't even know where to begin with this

From foxnews.com:

Little Calvin Muteesa is only 2 years old but he takes Viagra four times a day — and without it he would die.

Calvin was first prescribed the impotence drug when he was just three months old.

Now he is believed to be Britain’s youngest regular Viagra user, having taken the drug — for up to six times a day — for the past 30 months.

Calvin has pulmonary arterial hypertension, a rare condition that causes his blood pressure to be dangerously high. This starves his lungs of oxygen-rich blood.

The youngster struggles for breath and his heart has to work twice as hard to force blood to his lungs. Viagra relaxes his pulmonary artery, which carries blood to the lungs, and allows more blood and oxygen through.

“When I first saw the packet I didn’t know what to think,” Calvin’s mother Maureen said.

“I asked the nurse, ‘Why on earth are you giving my son that?' It’s for something completely different. But you could see the difference as soon as he started taking it. It was amazing.”

why is it hard to believe? viagra was intended as a heart medication, not a hard on maker. i think its nice it is still being prescribed for what it was developed for

That little guy may be the youngest in Britain, but I have a friend with a little girl (1 year old) who was born premature with numerous health problems - she has pulmonary hypertension and also takes viagra on a regular basis. Not sure how long she's been on it, but I know it's at least a few months.

Lawd have mercy. Great that the child has a med that helps him with his condition.

All I can think is...my son's favorite toy is attached to him....

IT IS SO HARD NOT TO LAUGH AND BE DISGUSTED AT THE SAME TIME....

He'll be a big hit in day care.

cialis might work better.

I'm just glad they found something to help the little fella and Deb - the dancing underoos ARE hysterical....it was the incredible hulk and ninja turtles at my house...

I think this is the best use I've seen for Viagra! And, while we are on the subject, I just have to say that it pizzes me off that Medicaid will pay for elderly men in nursing homes/assisted living facilities to get Viagra but it won't pay for some of the other drugs that are more beneficial in treatments of other "ailments".
