What Viagra type can also cope with jet lag?

The far-famed Viagra could might helpful in jet-lag treatment as shown by the recent research on hamsters in Argentina. The study involved manipulations with turning lights on and off in a particular sequence and schedule to trigger jet lag symptoms in hamsters. The results of the study were documented and published by the National Academy of Sciences.

The laboratory animals were given sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient of Generic Viagra and its numerous generic modifications, during the clear episodes of jet-lag, and male animals have managed to get back to normality twice as quicker as those not taking the preparation. The study was ceased at the point where the reception of a preparation in large quantities started producing certain adverse reaction in hamsters. However, at the same time the scientists have managed to pick up the dosage that didn’t stimulate erection.

Travelling for long distances that implies crossing several time zones may interfere with sleep cycles and result into so-called jet-lag, the condition accompanied by insomnia, fatigue and attention issues. The scientific group that was lead by Patricia Agostino, representing National University of Quilmes in Buenos Aires, have been practicing scenarios with long-lasting eastbound flights, feeding hamsters with Viagra during night hours and turning on daylight simulation 6 hours early. The estimation of hamsters’ overall condition and adjustment progress were evaluated and took into account the behaviour on running wheels.

Despite the positive effects in eastbound flights simulation, the drug appeared to be poorly effective in treatment of westbound flights jet lag issues. The results of the study gave ground for further experiments on the potential of Viagra in treatment of jet lag and the negative consequences on sleep in shift workers. It is assumed that the dosage needed to eliminate the undesired symptoms may be significantly lower than the therapeutic effect dose in erectile dysfunction treatment.

By now there was no significant progress in exploring the option yet, and the results were received by public with scepticism. Thus, for example, Max Davidson of The Telegraph published an article where he is personally takes Canadian Viagra to deal with jet-lag issues with no success, suggesting that the researchers refine and reconsider the results they obtained. Keep in mind that the prescription insert doesn’t contain anything on jet-lag treatment; there’s still plenty of effort needed to confirm that sildenafil citrate, and Viagra in particular, is a safe and effective measure for jet-lag treatment.
