Default could viagra help with als?

The below article is interesting. I wonder if viagra could help with Als. At least it could be used on humans instead of mice.

Lightbulb There is a drug

out now, at 20mg dosage for circulatory/cardiac use (below ED doses)
called Revatio.
http://www.revatio.com/

It was FDA approved for primary pulmonary hypertension, but can be
used off label. Not all insurances pay for it however.

Viagra has also been tried for some cases of Raynaud's (due to scleroderma, for example).

Viagra after all, began as a CARDIAC drug, not an ED drug!
