Does Viagra work for women?
Leslie Schover, Ph.D.: Unfortunately, the studies of Viagra in women have been disappointing. There are news reports that the same drug company that makes Viagra is working on a new drug nicknamed “Pink Viagra” for women. Apparently this drug is quite similar to Viagra. I have not yet seen any clinical trials of this drug. A drug like Viagra might possibly help women produce more lubrication if they are menopausal and it is not safe or comfortable for them to use estrogen. This type of drug does not affect desire for sex and only works in the local area of the genitals to increase blood flow.
