In some postmenopausal women with sexual arousal problems, treatment with viagra (sildenafil) is effective and well tolerated. It has been found that compared with women taking an inactive pill, or placebo, those who receive sildenafil report substantial positive effects on sexual function, although there may be no benefit in women who also have less sexual desire.

While there were significant improvements in patients on sildenafil, the researchers recommend that doctors should take a thorough medical and psychological history from women seeking treatment for sexual problems to determine if other methods of treatment could work.
