The first peer-reviewed study detailing the effectiveness of Viagra in women has now been published in the March '99 issue of Urology (The Gold Journal). The good news is that the drug is well-tolerated in post-menopausal women who complain of sexual dysfunction. The bad news is that Viagra did not improve sexual function significantly in these women, although some improvement was noted in a few cases. This pilot study (33 patients) included no placebo group and only women over the age of 43. The abstract is reproduced below.
