Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is intended to build on a growing body of literature showing a blood flow abnormality in patients with Becker muscular dystrophy. The investigators' laboratory recently showed that this blood flow abnormality could be corrected by a single oral dose of the drug Tadalafil (also known as Cialis). The investigators now wish to replicate these exciting results using a common nitric oxide donor (sodium nitrate).
