Washington - The first controlled study of Viagra in women shows the drug also helps many women, doctors reported yesterday. Although the study was small, researcher Dr Jennifer Berman of the University of Boston says it shows that the same physical mechanisms that can make men impotent can cause sexual problems in women as well.

The women have the same physical response to Viagra as men, Dr Berman said - increased blood flow to the genital area.
