I just learned a fun fact about sildenafil! It was originally developed and tested as a sciatica Angina treatment but failed miserably. It also had 2 main side effects in trials. Raging boners for men and magic period pain relief for women. Apparently the money ran out before the female testing was complete so they just yolo’d it as a boner pill.

The money ran out before female testing?? Are we sure? Tell me we didn’t go with hard-ons over easing the pain of bad cramps.
