Viagra for women?

(Yahoo! News) Who says Viagra is merely just for the use of men? According to a recent study, Viagra has proven effective at combating sexual dysfunction in depressed women. As we all know, sexual dysfunction is a pretty common side effect of antidepressants and it is a major reason why people are encouraged to stop taking medication for their depression.

Women are prescribed antidepressants more than men are and this turns out to be problematic for woman. If women already has the sexual dysfunction problem after taking in some antidepressants, they could not take in medications that are approved for males because some of them are not really designed for the use of women.

Researchers tested Viagra on a number of women whose depression is currently on remission and are still having sexual dysfunction which manifests in symptoms like lack of arousal or pain during sex. 73 percent of the women experienced a change in their sex life. Some of them experienced headaches, flushing and indigestion but none of those women withdrew themselves from the study because of the side effects. In short, the side effects were merely nothing.
