Viagra for women

Viagra is the most famous prescription only drug for erectile dysfunction in men. The term "Female Viagra" has been around for some time although there was nothing as such available for use in women. It has now been reported by the BBC that a drug that failed tests as an antidepressant is being hailed as "Viagra for women" after surprising but not unpleasant side effects.

The drug surprisingly increased women's sex drive in three separate trials. The accidental discovery of this drug is similar to Viagra's discovery ten years ago. Viagra was originally designed as a heart medicine.
