Viagra an Aphrodisiac' for Depressed Women

A new study shows that women may benefit from Viagra as it was proven effective at combating sexual dysfunction in depressed women.

A study by the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed that 98 pre-menopausal women found the erectile dysfunction drug helpful in reaching orgasm.

Women in the study were told to take a pill an hour or two before sexual activity. The women were unaware that it was Viagra or a matching dummy pill.

While 72 percent of the women taking the blue pill had improved sexual function on an overall scale, only 27 percent of the women taking the placebo were reported improvement.

Some patients, however, who took Viagra complained of having headaches, indigestion and reddening of skin but no serious effects were detected.
