Can Viagra For Men Be Consumed By Women?
Question: Can a woman take viagra for men or will it hurt her?
Brief Answer:
Yes,it can be taken by woman.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to health care magic,
Yes,viagra can be given to women which contains drug sildenafil and it increases blood supply in female sexual organs (the clitoris,labia and vagina similar to natural arousal) just like it does to penis in males.
It should be taken one hour before intercourse on empty stomach and should not be taken with alcohol.
It is toxic to embryo,so it should be stopped when pregnancy is confirmed or in case of drug allergy.
Mostly it will not cause any harm to the women but like any other medicine,it has also some side effects which include headache,flushing,impaired vision etc.
You will have to consult doctor since it is a prescription drug.
Hope this will help you and let me know if you more doubts.
