Medications are commonly advertised for a single use, but they often gain popularity for others. Here are a few examples from ABC:
- Viagra: Famous for its ability to increase blood flow to a specific part of the body, Viagra also has been used to increase blood flow in patients with circulatory complications.
- Lumigan: A popular glaucoma medication, Lumigan’s makers market the drug under the name Latisse for its side effect: thickening and lengthening eyelashes.
- Botox: A medication before becoming a wrinkle treatment, botulinum toxin type A was created to treat crossed eyes and muscle spasms. Now doctors have found that it is also effective against the condition of hyperlacrimation—frequent involuntary crying.
- Ecstasy: Though illegal and controversial, some psychiatrists think the mood-altering effects of MDMA, in conjunction with therapy, may help people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
