Why would women want to take a drug that enhances penile erections when they don't have a penis? I ask this b/c of your question related to safety issues concerning pregnant women. If you're concerned that the male would expel some Viagra in his ejaculate, and therefore get into the women's system. Only 0.001% of administered dose appears in the semen in healthy volunteers (FDA web page).

Concerning thalidomide, the industry remembers the thalidomide case and uses the thalidomide as a case and point to ensure that those tragic events don't happen again. I think they screen very carefully for teratogenic effects, very early in drug development and screening is tougher than the thalidomide's time.

So I'm wondering if the rumour I heard of Viagra working in women isn't bull crap? Could they be marketing the drug for women? Maybe Viagra works by enhancing neural stimulation of blood flow to the clitoris? What is the corresponding condition for erectile dysfunction in women, is it just sexual dysfunction? Does anyone know the frequency of occurrence in women? So if Viagra alleviates sexual dysfunction in women, the estimates given by analysts are way too low since they consider the drug only being administered to men.
