The story behind Sildenafil(Viagra) incase you had no idea.

Sildenafil was initially made by Pfizer to treat hypertension and chest pain due to heart disease but during the heart clinical trials the pharmacist/researchers noticed that this men will be back again for more Viagra-

-everyday, they didn’t understand why, they would ask one of the elderly men that came regularly for the Viagra without a miss “what is happening”? How do you feel ? and just like the rest of the men, he would laugh and say “you don’t know”?

They later got information that one of the side effects of the drug was “INDUCING THE ERECTION OF THE PENIS”, yes, 😂😂, so the drug was then “repurposed” to treat “Erectile dysfunction” (ED) in people who can’t have erection (mainly the elderly)

Just a simple reminder:

1. Yeast infection is not an STD.
2. Staphylococcus aureus is not an STD.
3. You can’t get an STD from the toilet seat.
4. There is nothing like toilet infection.
5. Don’t let friends or relatives kiss your baby. Very important.

RT this.

-By kissing babies people can transfer fever blisters which can form around their mouth and then spread to other parts of their body even their brain as their immune system is still fragile. Protect your babies.

-“Toilet infection” is actually a misnomer”, what people say is toilet infection is usually a urinary tract infection or an STD.

The use of Lincosamides (Lincomycin, Clindamycin) can cause what is known as “pseudomembranous colitis”.

Pseudomembranous colitis also called “antibiotic-associated colitis” is the inflammation of the colon associated with an overgrowth of the bacterium Clostridioides difficile-

-this usually results due the use of antibiotics, While almost any antibiotic can cause pseudomembranous colitis, some antibiotics are more commonly linked to pseudomembranous colitis than others, like the Lincosamides.

This condition results as a result of the antibiotic upsetting the colon’s normal flora balance, creating room for harmful bacteria to grow rapidly and produce high amounts of toxins which can damage the colon.

This infection is a common cause of diarrhea after antibiotic use.
