Lately, Addyi has been taking strides to position itself as a sensational new alternative to Lady Era and effectively lay claim to the hailed title, "female Viagra". You might be wondering why a medication like Addyi is even referred to as "female Viagra", but some people do believe that's this is because Viagra has arguably set the global benchmark for a consistently potent and compelling product [insert exclamation point]. It may be true that Viagra doesn't work for everyone, but Addyi aims to fill that gap with a solution for women. Even though Addyi is often compared to Viagra, they contain two completely different active ingredients and work in the body differently. Addyi contains the active ingredient Flibanserin and is designed to increase or restore a wom...

Can a man take lady era or is it just for women? ## Hello, Bobby! How are you? This is a gender neutral medication, it can be taken by either. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, runny nose and priapism. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Do u have to be prescribed "lady era" legally or is it legal to buy over the counter? My fiance is having a hard time climaxing all the time. She's pregnant right now, but for when she is done breastfeeding we were thinking of trying this. ## Marketed for the same purpose as Lady Era, a medication called Addyi (Flibanserin) is also touted as a female version of Viagra. The difference is that Lady Era and Viagra contain the same active ingredient (Sildenafil), while Addyi contains...

Is it OK to take 2 Lady-Era? One seems to do very little for me. ## From what I am finding, Lady Era actually contains the drug Sildenafil, so I'd have to advise you to check with your doctor, before doubling up on the dosage. Sildenafil (which is also the active ingredient in Viagra) works by increasing blood flow and, by doing so, it can cause some adverse side effects, such as changes in blood pressure and heart rate, which could be dangerous, if too much is taken. For the record, there's also another medication marketed for use a female version of Viagra (Sildenafil) that goes by the name "Addyi (flibanserin)". It reportedly works by correcting chemical imbalances within the brain, contrary to how Sildenafil works by increasing blood flow... If it turns out that Sild...
