PS: sildenafil (viagra) was initially studied for use in high blood pressure and angina

while it didnt work for hypertension, they (quickly?) realized it gave you a hard on

What we call the birth control pill was originally intended/developed as a treatment for endometriosis. During clinical trials, they discovered the “unfortunate side effect” that it prevented pregnancy.

The lab director thought they’d have to start all over; the company thought the project had been a big loss. The nurses who’d been monitoring the test subjects had to persuade them that they’d found something better than hoped for; that prospective test subjects were swarming their clinic begging to be included in the next round of testing.
