Viagra, Now For Depressed Women

Of course, at about $10 a pill, taking Viagra would be a very expensive proposition. And, given studies of just how long-lasting sexual dysfunction is for so people taking anti-depressants and how long it can last once the drugs are discontinued, then it'll be Viagra for life for some patients.

Researchers summed up their findings thus:

"'By treating this bothersome treatment-associated adverse effect in patients who have been effectively treated for depression, but need to continue on their medication to avoid relapse or recurrence, patients can remain antidepressant-adherent, reduce the current high rates of premature medication discontinuation, and improve depression disease management outcomes,' wrote lead author George Nurnberg of the University of New Mexico School of Medicine."

Or perhaps they could ditch the anti-depressant altogether and try CBT or other therapies. Just a thought.

eMaxHealth reporting on Viagra Helping Depressed Women on Sexual Health writes something in the last paragraph that also needs to be taken into consideration. "The sale of Viagra has been dwindling in recent years. Viagra has almost a Markey share of 92 percent in the year 2000.However, with the introduction of competitors like Cialis and Levitra, along with other counterfeits and clones, the market share reduced drastically to 50 percent. The recent study will no doubt increase the sale of the popular Viagra pills."
