Though Viagra is not approved to be taken by women, many women think it will help their sexual dysfunction. They may experience many of the same side effects as men when taking the drug; however, they could also experience other side effects that are much more serious.

    Headaches

  1. Headache, such as a migraine, is the most common side effect from Viagra. In some instances the side effect goes away over time, but in others, it's something that the person has to deal with whenever taking the medication.
  2. Flushing of the Skin

  3. Women that take Viagra can have excessive flushing of the skin, making them look overheated or somewhat red.
  4. Heartburn

  5. Extreme heartburn and nausea can also be a side effect of taking Viagra.
  6. Nasal Congestion

  7. A woman taking Viagra can experience nasal congestion. It can seem like she's always got a cold or an allergy when on the medication.
  8. Urinary Tract Infection

  9. In some instances, Viagra can cause urinary tract infections in women. To try to combat this side effect, make sure your body stays hydrated.
