Female Viagra (Sildenafil Citrate)
What Is Female Viagra?
Viagra for women is a drug used for the symptomatic therapy of sexual arousal disorders in women. Its active ingredient is sildenafil citrate, a drug that causes relaxation of the smooth muscles of the vagina and pelvic floor, which leads to increased blood flow and an increase in the level of tactile sensitivity.
For a long time, Viagra was considered an exclusively male drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. In 2003, medical studies were conducted that confirmed the positive effect of the use of sildenafil citrate for the treatment of sexual dysfunction in women.
Advantages of Female Viagra

The Purpose of Female Viagra
Sildenafil is used to treat female sexual dysfunctions of vascular, endocrine, or psychogenic origin.
Viagra demonstrates the best therapeutic results for women as part of a complex therapy aimed at eliminating the primary factor that caused disorders in regard to sexual desire or sensitivity.
How It Works
The basis of the mechanism of action of sildenafil citrate is its ability to temporarily suspend the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP): a substance that causes relaxation and blood filling of the smooth muscles of the walls of the vagina and pelvic floor, which is a prerequisite for achieving pronounced sensitivity of the female genital organs necessary for sexual satisfaction.
The effect of the drug occurs within 60 minutes after ingestion and requires mandatory stimulation of the genitals, since cGMP synthesis does not occur without it. The effect of the drug lasts for 2-3 hours.
Who Is It For?
The target category is women over 40 years of age during menopause, including its pre— and postmenopausal phase, experiencing difficulties with the emergence of sexual desire or achieving orgasm.
Recommendations
Dosage
The drug is taken at a dosage of 50 mg an hour before sexual intimacy, but not more than once within 24 hours.
The maximum allowable daily dosage is 100 mg.
It should be borne in mind that dishes with a high level of fat content slow down the onset of the full effect of sildenafil.
Contraindications
- Severe forms of hepatic and/or cardiovascular diseases.
- Loss of vision in one eye.
- Any form of blood clotting disorders.
- Stomach and duodenal ulcer in the acute stage.
- Oncological diseases of the gynecological category.
- Under the age of 18.
With caution, you should take the drug when:
- arterial hypertension above stage II;
- hereditary retinitis pigmentosa;
- for at least six months after a myocardial infarction or stroke (in consultation with the attending physician).
Side Effects
With a probability of > 2%, headaches, dizziness, a rush of blood to the face may occur.
With a probability of > 1%, there may be increased photosensitivity, blurred vision, color perception disorders, dyspepsia, nausea, tachycardia, nasal congestion, aching back pain, tinnitus, skin rash, drowsiness.
The risk of side effects depends on the size of the dose of the drug: the maximum when taking 100 mg and the minimum when taking 25 mg.
Overdose
Exceeding the permissible single or daily doses of sildenafil causes symptoms characteristic of the development of side effects, but more pronounced and prolonged.
Treatment: symptomatic. Hemodialysis in case of overdose with sildenafil is not used because of its ineffectiveness.
Interaction of Female Viagra with Other Drugs
It is strictly forbidden to take Viagra for women simultaneously with the following groups of drugs:
- Nitric oxide donors: Agmatine, Arginine, Molsidomine, Sodium Nitroprusside.
- Organic nitrates: Nitroglycerin, Nitromint, Molsidomine.
Special caution is required by the combination of viagra for women with such drugs:
- Protease inhibitors: Amprenavir, Indinavir, Ritonavir, Telaprevir, etc.
- Alpha-blockers: Vasobral, Doxazosin, Propranolol, Phentolamine, etc.
- Blockers of H2-histamine receptors: Nizatidine, Ranitidine, Famotidine, Cimetidine, etc.
- Macrolides: Azithromycin, Clarithromycin, Midecamycin, Erythromycin, etc.
The combination of sildenafil with alpha-blockers carries a high risk of lowering blood pressure to critical values. To avoid such an interaction, the drugs should be taken at least 4 hours apart.
The combined intake of sildenafil citrate with protease inhibitors, macrolides and H2-histamine receptor blockers reduces the metabolic rate of sildenafil, which increases the risk of side effects. Reducing the dosage of sildenafil to 25 mg per day helps to avoid this complication.
Special Instructions and Precautions
- To determine the level of individual sensitivity to sildenafil, it is recommended to start the first intake of female Viagra with a dosage of 25 mg.
- Clinical practice has shown that sildenafil demonstrates the best results in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions in women in combination with a course of antidepressant therapy.
- Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can reduce the effectiveness of the drug.
- In women over 55-60 years of age, there is an increased sensitivity to the action of Viagra, which must be taken into account when determining the single and daily dosage.
