Just talked to a Pfizer rep. He said Viagra is excellent for use in race recovery. Dialates the blood vessels in muscles allowing for faster recovery. They have several studies to back this up but have no plans to market it this way. So all you IM types should use this for a week after the race for faster recovery and enjoy the other side effect.
Drug reps are fondly know as DrugReptiles…You have to understand, they get paid by what they sell…The optimum of truth does not facilitate this end goal…Also, be wary drug of interactions and contraindicated medical conditions…
I’ve also heard rumors of vision problems with viagra use…and before anyone can go there, it isn’t from self-gratification, or they’d give out a razor with ever bottle!..
Ok, the flood gates are going to be open on this one! So, I’ll start:
If you take viagra for recovery after an IM, who’s REALLY going to be able to relax & recover.
or
Why would you take viagra to bring it, I mean you down.
It is interesting info. though. But if I ever take one of those I will have problems. 
Viagra is also being rebranded as a treatment for pulmonary hypertension in children.
Dilated blood vessels → More volume → Less pressure.
But at the same time, Viagra can cause eye stroke. I’m kind of a skeptic, and I would only take medication as a last resort for something (Unless my dick wasn’t working, of course.).
Damn drug pushers are always looking for a new buyer to hook.
yeah…and i talked with a drug company rep recently who was actually trying to talk up a steroid/bronchodilator combo in relation to racing.
i’m sorry but sometimes i just gotta laugh at those nuts.
For pure cost/benefit purposes, I’ll stick with Recoverite. I pay $55.87 CDN for four tabs of Viagra (25 mg), so that would make for a pretty expensive recovery aid. It’s a pretty expensive copulatory aid as well, but for what it accomplishes for how it is intended…alas, Hammer (how apt for this discussion!)doesn’t offer a suitable product. (And as someone who has used “Sustained Energy” and “Perpetuem” for a while now, well, if those names delivered in ALL areas, I’d know about it and wouldn’t be a Viagraman!)
Another benefit - taking Viagra gives you a new place to hang your wet towel out to dry.
Careful on the drup reps guys. A few are regulars on here and I would believe me if they told me something like that. There are people who give wrong information in every business but it does not always mean that it is purposeful.
Yeah, but does Recoverite give you a woody?
there are indeed some regulars who are reps. the reputable reps would never think of publicly recommending one of their products for anything other than what the company they represent specifically markets the drug for. contrary promotion is in most every case…on purpose. they cannot be in that business without knowing full well the dangers associated.
I agree. I don’t know if the guy was recommending it, just saying that it could be used. Just like most of us recommend Guiness as an excellent recovery drink but the chances of that being 100% true are not good!!
Only when all systems are otherwise cooperating! (Hey, remember - I’m just a 25mg guy, so not ALL my efforts turn out counter-productive!)
The nursing homes are now giving it out to the old men at night along with a shot of whiskey. The whiskey puts them to sleep, and the Viagra keeps them from rolling out of bed.
Is that why your username is “longspur?” Maybe you should change it to “tripod.”.

I think a warm bath and/or a massage would work just as well. Depending on who’s giving the massage, you might also be able to replicate Viagra’s, um, other effects too.
Sadly, unfortunately, no.
Disclaimer: He was not reccomending it and they have no plan to marketit this way but they have done the testing. I just thought it was an interesting and amusing story.
“Tripod”, eh? That would possibly conceivably work, but a few years ago our dog got her leg all messed up and for a while it was touch-and-go as to whether she might need it amputated. If that had happened, why would’ve given her the nickname Tripod. So, as a Viagraman, it might not be healthy for my psyche to have a user name that makes me think of the, uh, elimination of dysfunctional appendages!
Isn’t it just recently that a spate of folks been getting heart attacks due to taking the little blue pill?
And do we need kids walking around with erections?
