The little blue pill is a decade old.
Viagra, the diamond-shaped pill, was the first oral treatment for impotence (or erectile dysfunction) and changed the lives of millions of men and women around the world.
The medicine turned a debilitating psychological disorder into an easily treatable physical one.
The US Food and Drug Administration approved the drug on March 27, 1998, the official birthday of the blue pill.
