Don't know for sure but Viagra was originally developed as, and is still used as, a heart drug. It was during trials that the - ahem - other effect was noticed and that it is why it is also used for ED.

So I don't see why women wouldn't be able to take as a drug for the relevant heart problems but I'm not aware of any that do.

In simple layman's (or is that layperson's) terms I guess there is no reason why it doesn't have "similar" affects on women. Just not knowing exactly how the drug works I wasn't sure.

Well there you go, you live and learn something new every day.xx

Roxytots, The FDA (food and drug administration) in the US gas approved Flibansiren which is "Viagra for Women" and do not suggest women take Viagra which is meant for men.There are many side affects of the original Viagra if taken by women.This info was got off the Web but the FDA is the organization that approves any drugs that can be given in the US.I hope this is of help to you.

No you could have a heart attack

hello from Nurse Gladys Emanuel (still open all hours) "Viagra" as it is known to many is for 2 reasons- 1, erectile dysfunction and 2. a heart condition IT IS ON PRESCRIPTION ONLY and is recommended by a cardiologist mainly. I cannot imagine women have I.D. if you are young at trying out "the carmasutra" and things are not happening then turn the page and try something else!! lol!! seriously don't, buy any from a non prescribing source we all know what that makes the supplier very rich and leaves buyers in despair...

I've been told that it works on approx 30% of women. The other 70% (the majority) are left with a severe headache for quite a few hours, which paracetamol doesn't alleviate. I wouldn't advise it. Also, like Hidden said if it's not on prescription you have no way of knowing what active & inactive ingredients are actually in the tablets, you could be taking absolutely anything

Hi Roxytots1958

I once watched a documentary about this and it did not help women too much and many were left feeling unsatisfied. They also talked about how it can affect the heart and other organs. i would perosnally discuss it with your GP and try and get a legitimate prescription so you know what you are getting.

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
