Viagra may be used for other treatments as well

That is the assessment of Nobel Prize winner Ferid Murad, 70. Co-awarded the Nobel Prize in 1998 for the discovery of the use of nitric oxide in improving cardiovascular health, the American feels that both Viagra and nitric oxide achieve similar results in dilating blood vessels.

He was speaking to The New Paper during his visit here recently. According to Professor Murad's findings, nitric oxide works by increasing the formation of a certain type of molecule that causes blood vessels to dilate and improve blood flow.
