FDA approves impotence pill, Viagra

"The Food and Drug Administration today announced the approval of Viagra (sildenafil citrate), the first oral pill to treat impotence, a
dysfunction that affects millions of men in the United States.
Unlike previously approved treatments for impotence, Viagra does not directly cause penile erections, but affects the response to sexual
stimulation. The drug acts by enhancing the smooth muscle relaxant effects of nitric oxide, a chemical that is normally released in response to
sexual stimulation. This smooth muscle relaxation allows increased blood flow into certain areas of the penis leading to an erection."
