Viagra Side Effects in Women

Sildenafil, the generic name for Viagra, was first developed as a means of treating angina. When its users reported that the drug had a seemingly miraculous effect on erectile dysfunction, researchers at Pfizer, the drug's manufacturer, wondered if it would have similar effects on women. After eight years of testing 3,000 women, Pfizer decided to abandon the research. Viagra caused outward signs of arousal such as increased blood flow to the clitoris, but it did not increase sexual willingness or desire. Pfizer thus abandoned their research.
Sexual dysfunction is not the only use for Viagra. Sildenafil in the form of Revatio is also used by both men and women for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. The drug does, however, have some side effects. Some are specific to women, while others affect both genders.

Viagra and Antidepressants

Despite the less than impressive results of research about Viagra's effects on women, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicate that Viagra can mitigate the effects of antidepressant-associated sexual dysfunction. The study involved 98 women who, despite overall mood improvements from antidepressants, were still experiencing sexual problems. The women agreed to try to have sex at least once a week. The results indicated that 72 percent of the women taking Viagra noticed improvements in their sex drive. In contrast, only 27 percent of the women taking the placebo reported any sort of improvement.

Headaches

Forty three percent of the women in the Viagra group reported headaches, compared to 27 percent of the women taking the placebo.

Flushing or Skin Reddening

Flushing or reddening of the skin was also reported amongst some of the patients in the experiment.

Nausea and Indigestion

Some women in the study experienced nausea and indigestion.

Vision and Hearing Problems

Consumer Reports medical adviser Dr. Martin LIttman reports that Viagra may cause vision and/or hearing problems.

BAD SIDE EFFECTS OF VIAGRA

What Are the Effects of Too Much Viagra?

Viagra is an oral medication prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction in men. It can also be used to treat certain forms of hypertension and improve stamina during physical exercise in both men and women. Drugs.com explains that Viagra works by relaxing muscles and increasing blood flow to certain areas of the body. Viagra should be taken only as directed. In the event that an individual overdoses, whether intentionally or unintentionally, there may be several undesirable side effects.

Overdose Symptoms

Drugs.com identifies chest pain, nausea, irregular heartbeat, fainting and/or feeling light-headed as preliminary signs of overdose. Medical attention should be requested if any of these symptoms are experienced.

Exacerbated Positive Effects

Viagra is used to improve a man's erection. When an overdose of the medication has been consumed, the positive side effects can be exacerbated. A man may experience a painful erection that lasts for more than 4 hours. This can be a very serious concern. Prolonged erection can lead to permanent damage to the penile tissues, resulting in an increase in erectile dysfunction. Surgery may be required to reduce the blood that has caused swelling in the penis.

Exacerbated Negative Effects

The common side effects of Viagra may be exacerbated or more likely to occur with an overdose. According to Drugs.com effects may include back pain, upset stomach, diarrhea, vomiting, memory problems, headache, stuffy nose, vision changes, breathing problems or irregularities, irregular heartbeat, ringing in the ears, hearing loss, sudden loss of vision, sweating, pain spreading from the chest to the arm or shoulder, warmth or redness in the face, warmth or redness in the neck and/or chest. RxList.com also warns of an increased risk in cardiovascular difficulties resulting from blood pressure fluctuations and heartbeat irregularities. Men who were taking a low dose of Viagra due to existing health concerns may be more likely to experience an increase in the symptoms that are associated with their health issues. Individuals who are taking other medications often receive a smaller dose of Viagra to avoid interaction. In the case of overdose, the chances of a drug interaction are also higher. The results of a drug interaction can vary, but in most cases, it can be serious or deadly, according to RxList.com.

Rare Side Effects

RxList.com lists several rare side effects of normal Viagra use that may be more likely to occur when too much Viagra has been taken. These hazards may include arthritis, swelling of any part of the body, increased thirst, anemia, liver function tests abnormalities, gingivitis, migraine, cardiac arrest, heart failure, allergic reaction including anaphylaxis, abnormal dreams, sinusitis, sore throat, bronchitis, increase in phlegm, coughing, skin ulcer, dermatitis, tremors and/or vertigo.
