What are the Differences Between Viagra and Female Viagra?

After years of using Viagra, the little blue pill, by men for treating Erectile Dysfunction (ED), it appears women with sexual dysfunctions can also get what they have been asking for – the “female Viagra”. Although not yet being promoted extensively, female Viagra, which contains Sildenafil Citrate, can be used by women who have sexual dysfunctions such as Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) and Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD).

Usually, HSSD and FSAD are associated with other sexual dysfunctions, which include dyspareunia (painful coition) and anorgasmia (difficulty achieving orgasm). All of these female sexual dysfunctions are interlinked with each other. This means a woman may suffer from a combination of these sexual dysfunctions.

The imminent arrival of female Viagra, the first medicine of its kind, almost raises the question of how it is different from the little blue pill used by millions of men with ED. To make things as simple as possible, we will compare and contrast Viagra to female Viagra.

Treating Different Sexual Dysfunctions

Although both the medicines contain the same drug i.e. Sildenafil Citrate, they are used for different purposes. The little blue pill is used to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED), while female Viagra is for women with HSDD, FSAD, dyspareunia, as well as anorgasmia. Even the action mechanism is somewhat similar. In men, the little blue pill increases blood flow to the penile organ, causing an erection during sexual stimulation.

Female Viagra, on the other hand, looks after increasing the blood flow to the genitals, increasing the sensuality, arousal, lubrication, and providing intense orgasm with utmost satisfaction. By boosting blood flow to the genitals, female Viagra allows a woman to secrete an oil-like substance from the vaginal tract, which acts as a natural lubrication, preventing dyspareunia. Plus, it helps her to achieve intense orgasms.

Pill Color

One of the simplest differentiating factors between the little blue pill and female Viagra is the color of the pill. Viagra, the first recognized oral ED drug for men is available on a blue-colored pill, while female Viagra in pink. Medications such as Lovegra and Ladygra are often considered female Viagra, which are available in pink pills. They are also nicknamed “pink Viagra.”

These are two differentiating factors when it comes to comparing and contrasting the little blue pill to female Viagra.

Precautions and Side Effects

Since both the medicines are composed of Sildenafil Citrate, there is no much difference as far as precautions and side effects are concerned.

Female Viagra is not indicated for women who are suffering from a serious heart condition. It is also contraindicated in those who are taking chest pain medicines containing nitrates or high blood pressure medicine alpha-blockers. Female Viagra is not for those who are below 18 years of age.

Common side effects associated with female Viagra include back pain, muscle pain, nasal congestion, facial flushing and nausea, which often subside as soon as the drug’s effect vanishes from the body. Get immediate medical attention in case of any side effects that persist and trouble you.

Female Viagra, or pink Viagra, is indeed one of the best medications for women with sexual dysfunctions. By improving arousal and sensuality, female Viagra helps you to indulge in long-lasting sexual intercourse, allowing you to achieve multiple, intense orgasms that can give you a great sense of satisfaction. Remember, female Viagra should be used exactly as advised by a medical professional.
