Gloucestershire, UK: Viagra, the drug best known for treating erectile dysfunction, is keeping 2-year-old Oliver Sherwood who suffers from chronic high blood pressure alive. The drug improves his circulation by opening blood vessels.
Only 5 children are diagnosed with the condition annually. In the future he may have to move onto more expensive treatments - treatments which are in potentially in jeopardy from NHS cuts. His mother is petitioning to keep the treatments on the NHS.
"We do have a joke when we pick up his drugs that it would be Christmas come early for most people... When he started taking the drug the change was fantastic - I had my little boy back," said his mother Sarah.
