(Robert Heart – Forbes) Using Viagra, known generically as sildenafil, is associated with a significantly reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, according to new peer-reviewed research published in Nature Aging Monday, offering hope the widely used drug might be repurposed as a treatment for the neurodegenerative condition.
KEY FACTS
Researchers found that using sildenafil was associated with a 69% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease when accounting for other factors like sex, race and age, according to an analysis of insurance claims data from over seven million people in the U.S.
The finding does not mean the drug is responsible for the reduced risk of Alzheimer’s, the researchers cautioned, warning other factors could be responsible, including the possibility the drug is only prescribed to wealthy people who have lower chances of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
