Treating and educating men<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lifse, a state-owned pharmaceutical company, has plans to distribute the drug nationally in the near future. The company says the giveaway is not only to help men suffering with erectile dysfunction, but also to educate the public.<\/p>\n

“The most famous medication in the world for improving the quality of life — even though no-one is going to lose their life over it — is the first to be made by the state in Argentina,” Guillermo Cleti, a LIFSE director, tells CTV News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It’s not only to attend to erectile dysfunction in men who need it, but also to avoid the abuse or bad use of the drug and to warn the population about its correct use,” he said.<\/p>\n

The popular blue pill doesn\u2019t just improve sex lives, it\u2019s also known for treating rare kinds of heart disease, something the pharmaceutical company plans to pursue further.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Miguel Angel Cappiello said the state is working on a syrup version of the drug to treat children with pulmonary hypertension, according to Argentinean news website infobae.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It will be a benefit for a large and growing group of patients,”\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n
