Can women take Viagra?
No, women cannot take Viagra for erectile dysfunction or sexual issues as it is only licensed in the UK for treating erectile dysfunction in men. There is no evidence it helps women with sexual problems, and it may cause side effects or other risks since it has not been tested properly in women. Women should not use it and speak to a doctor for suitable options.
Key points:
- Viagra is licensed only for erectile dysfunction in men in the UK.
- No evidence shows it improves sexual function in women.
- It can cause side effects like headaches, dizziness, or more serious issues in anyone.
- Research on effects in women is very limited, so risks are not fully known.
