No one was expecting the drug to surface in such manner since it was not the originally intended drug during the scientific experiment that gave birth to it. Be that as it may, the drug is now born and the world now finally has a solution to erectile dysfunction. The drug may have certain side effects, but none of the side effects outweighs its benefits. Also, many of the side effects are mild. The common ones are not life-threatening, while those that are life threatening only occur in very rare conditions. Such rare conditions are also associated with when the affected individual has one underlying health condition before taking the drug.
