Now, according to HealthDay News, there may be another remedy in the works - Viagra! You've no doubt heard all the claims for the use of viagra in erectile dysfunction. But as a remedy for jet lag?
Well, according to the article:
"While it's too early to know if it will work in humans, Argentinean researchers are reporting that the drug sildenafil -- better known by the brand name Viagra -- appears to reduce symptoms of jet lag in hamsters"
When viagra was administered to the hamsters before adjusting their light/dark sequence to mimic that experienced in jet lag, the hamsters that received the viagra recovered 25% to 50% faster than those that didn't.
