Have you heard of the saying \u201cOne man\u2019s trash is another man\u2019s treasure?\u201d Well, in the case of our favorite little blue pill, one scientist\u2019s failed blood pressure medication is another man\u2019s answer to erectile dysfunction (ED).

The introduction of the pill onto the market did more than spark people\u2019s interest in the drug; it also helped raise awareness of the number of men who suffer from this disorder. As many as 15-30 million men in the United States alone<\/a> experience erectile dysfunction. The good news is that we now have an effective, well-tested treatment to combat it.<\/p>\n
