Viagra pode ser a nova arma contra o Alzheimer, revela estudo
O remédio pode ser um grande auxiliador na perda de memória
O Viagra não é um auxiliar apenas na disfunção erétil masculina. Conhecido por ajudar no desempenho na cama, o remédio é a nova arma da medicina contra o Alzheimer, doença neurodegenerativa progressiva que causa perda de memória recente.
A informação foi divulgada em um estudo financiado pela Alzheimer's Society e liderado pela University of Exeter, que foi publicado na revista Alzheimer's Research and Therapy. Os dados apontaram que os pacientes que utilizavam o remédio possuíam uma probabilidade 18% menor de receber o diagnóstico do que os que não fazem o uso constante.

Apesar de terem a função de agir contra condições cardiovasculares, como hipertensão e angina, medicamentos desta classe possuem uma ligação direta com a sinalização celular da memória, influenciando diretamente na atividade das células cerebrais.
Entretanto, a descoberta ainda está em fase de testes e o uso do medicamento não deve ser feito sem recomendação médica, pois pode trazer consequências graves. Os pesquisadores reforçam que são necessários novos estudos clínicos para comprovar se a redução do risco de Alzheimer é causada diretamente pelo medicamento ou se há outros fatores biológicos envolvidos.
