JERUSALEM (Reuters) -
A drug used to treat impotence could
help Israeli fighter pilots operate at high altitude, the
Israeli military's official magazine reported in its latest
issue.

It said a retired general plans to present to the air force
the results of a study he conducted on Mount Kilimanjaro in
Tanzania where he found that tadalafil, the active ingredient
in Cialis tablets, improved breathing in a thin softtabs tadalafil
.

“The study's findings justify the continuation of tests
with drugs of this type in low oxygen environments,” an unnamed
air force officer told Bamahaneh, the military's weekly
magazine.

An army n tadalafil
said that there were no plans to use
any such drug and a statement said the phenomenon of chronic
oxygen tadalafil soft
experienced by mountaineers and the immediate
oxygen starvation which pilots suffer at high altitude are
different.

“(Because of the different circumstances) there is no
significance for medical treatment of any drug for pilots in
the Israel Air Force … and it has no intention of using any
form of drug,” the statement read.
