Wasn't this class of medication originally for cardiovascular issues, and the whole ED mitigation was a happy marketable accident?
Well. too sad I can't take it. It gives me terrible heartburn (an acute stomach pain, not a heart related condition) that only partially responds to anti-acids such as Alka Seltzer.
