Viagra For Kids

Soon a children's form of Viagra will hit the market capable of treating a rare lung disorder.

The Food and Drug Administration has approached Pfizer about using its drug to treat a lung ailment that affects about 600 kids. In exchange of this, Pfizer will get a six-month extension of its patent on the adult version.

Viagra, which modifies blood flows, could reduce unusually high blood pressure in a child's lungs, or pulmonary arterial hypertension. Symptoms include dizziness, chest pain and fatigue, reports New York Post.

A panel of FDA advisers will determine on Thursday whether to green light the kid's version.

Doctors already had been using Viagra's principal ingredient in lower doses to treat children with the lung ailment, under a different name, Revatio. The principal drug for both Viagra and Revatio is the same, Sildenafil.

The FDA began asking Pfizer in 2001 to develop ways to use Viagra to treat children suffering from the lung ailment, but the pool of just 600 patients offered limited revenue opportunities.

Doctors who have been using the drug on children say it is well-tolerated and doesn't have as many side effects as other treatments.

Michel Platini rushed to hospital after fainting in Johannesburg restaurant.

UEFA President Michel Platini was rushed to hospital on Friday evening after fainting in a South African restaurant.


The 55-year-old French legend was dining with former Liverpool manager and ex-Scotland boss Andy Roxburgh at the Pigalle restaurant in Johannesburg's Sandton district when he suddenly collapsed at the table and fell from his chair to the ground.

Emergency services were called to the incident, which happened at around 8.15pm UK time. Platini was then wheeled away on a stretcher and accompanied by Houllier in an ambulance.

Initial reports claimed that the former Juventus midfielder may have suffered a suspected heart attack, but those fears were quickly ruled out by UEFA sources, who insisted that Platini was in no danger.

The source said: 'Michel has had flu for a couple of days and he fainted in a restaurant and was taken to hospital. He is having some tests but is conscious and well.'
