The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning women about erectile dysfunction and urging women to get regular sex, and not to use Viagra, despite the fact that some women may have experienced it in the past.
On March 17, 2015, a U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel on male sexual dysfunction (MSD) recommended the use of a new, less-expensive, less-favoured, and possibly safer erectile dysfunction (ED) drug that could help men with sexual dysfunction who had a heart attack or stroke within the previous 12 months.
The panel noted the safety of sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, but added that it should not be used in women who are pregnant or who are trying to become pregnant, and said it did not think the use of the drug was medically necessary. The FDA’s Advisory Committee was divided by the panel and rejected the drug’s recommendation, saying the safety of sildenafil has been discussed with the FDA, and the drug’s benefits were too similar to the safety of Viagra. The panel also rejected the drug’s recommended safety profile for the female partner.
The panel also warned the FDA not to use the drug if a woman has a history of cardiovascular problems, or if she has a history of stroke or heart attack, and advised women not to use the drug if they had a history of coronary artery disease or if they had a history of liver or kidney problems.
In a letter published in, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, Dr. Janet Woodcock, a professor of urology at the University of Florida, wrote that the drug could increase the risk of stroke or heart attack in women who were taking nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, for chest pain. The FDA warned the drug is not indicated for people with a history of heart disease or high blood pressure or those who have recently had a heart attack or stroke.
In addition, the FDA also advised women not to use the drug if they have a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or smoking, and if they have ever had a history of breast cancer or adrenal gland tumors.
As the panel concluded, it had “strong concerns about the safety of ED drugs and the need for a comprehensive approach to medical care,” and the FDA is taking steps to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and death. Dr. Woodcock added that “the risks and benefits of the drug are far more important than the benefits and the harms.”
Woodcock also noted that the FDA’s advisory panel had recommended a drug to treat erectile dysfunction in men but noted it was not a safe or effective treatment for this condition. The FDA added that the panel “has not considered the risks and benefits of this drug and will not comment further.”
The FDA does not regulate the use of these drugs, and the agency has not authorized the drug for medical use. It has also not approved the use of the drug for sexual enhancement and is not known to be approved for use in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

The Food and Drug Administration’s approval of a new medication for erectile dysfunction (ED) comes just days after it approved Viagra, the prescription medication used to treat ED in men.
The approval of the drug comes after a study in which men with erectile dysfunction were treated with the drug. The drug is known for its long-lasting effects and the low price it’s available.
Viagra is already available at pharmacies nationwide and is already used as a treatment for ED. But there’s a problem: many men don’t realize the drug is working for them. Viagra’s side effects can include an erection, a headache, and flushing.
“The FDA has approved a new drug for ED that is proven to be effective and safe,” said Janet Woodcock, the health and human services secretary. “The FDA is evaluating whether this new medication will be effective for the treatment of ED.”
Viagra is a brand name for the drug sildenafil citrate, which is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. It’s available as generic sildenafil tablets.
The drug is used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. A study conducted by the FDA and published in theAnnals of Internal Medicinefound that people with ED who took sildenafil had a 15% lower risk of death compared with people who didn’t take the medication. The FDA also noted that the study didn’t account for other factors, such as age, health problems like diabetes or high blood pressure, and the type of treatment, not the drug itself.
The drug is also used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension, also known as high blood pressure in the lungs, and to treat erectile dysfunction in men. In the study, only about 10% of those taking the drug developed erectile dysfunction, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
The approval of Viagra comes just days after it approved the drug for erectile dysfunction in men. FDA officials said their review of the drug was “reviewable” and “necessary.”

He added: 'We believe that erectile dysfunction can also be caused by other conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity.'
