Viagra for women

Doctors say a growing number of women are taking the anti-impotence pharmaceutical drug Viagra despite the lack of studies that prove it will amplify Libido feelings for female sexual drive, desires and responses.
"I've heard reports from all around the country of doctors prescribing it off-label to women," Dr. John Brand, director of the Kelsey Institute for Research in Sex Gender and Reproduction.
The Viagra pill, approved by the FDA for men, increases blood flow to the penis, which can help men attain external reproductive organ erections. Preliminary studies suggest it might promote libido feelings of sexual drive, desires or arousal responses in women.
Once the Viagra pills are approved for one use, doctors can legally prescribe it "off-label" for an unapproved use. However, FDA certifies it safe and effective only in treating conditions for which it has been tested.
Trials are under way in Europe.
For instance in Minneapolis, 16 women were prescribed Viagra by obstetrician/gynecologist Mario Peting of the Mark Nicol Clinic. Fourteen reported improved feelings of better sexual drives, desires and arousal responses. Six women in Chicago have taken the pill through a study at Loyola University medical Center. Three have reported better feelings of sexual drives, desires and arousal responses.
