From the net (WebMD); please note that's in USA.
Two Medicines
The drugs the FDA has approved for HSDD are:
Flibanserin (Addyi): It’s a pill you take every evening.
Bremelanotide (Vyleesi): It’s a shot you give yourself in the belly or thigh 45 minutes before you have sex. You take one in a 24-hour period, and doctors recommend only eight shots per month.
How they work. Both drugs boost the activity of chemical messengers in your brain, called neurotransmitters, that are key to helping you feel aroused. You take flibanserin every day, whether you plan to have sex or not. You inject bremelanotide only when you need it. It’s important to note that neither drug makes sex better. They just make you more likely to feel in the mood. |

"How would that work exactly? Viagra is used to treat ED. What’s the female equivalent that you’re hoping to overcome?"
The female equivalent might be vaginismus (inability to relax the vagina for pentetration) or low sex drive, often due to menopause. Guess what? There's no successful treatment for either and certainly not a little blue pill you pop half an hour beforehand...... Women's sexual health in that regard is a second class citizen. If a woman goes to a gynaecologist and says that a problem she has means that she can't physically have sex, or it's painful, or she desire sex, I can tell you from personal experience that they don't give two fucks. Now, if a man goes to the doc with erectile dysfunction, that is taken much more seriously. |

Yep! Still even in 2020 men's sex drive is seen as more important than women's.
When it comes to female viagra I would humbly suggest that emotional communication is an extremely good way to boost a woman's libido. Effort, time, consideration and communication coupled with non sexual intimacy and lots of non sexual affection can produce surprising and unexpected results that medication can't. |

Not sure about what the OP is hoping to achieve, but some medication (such as anti-depressants) can make it difficult for ladies to get aroused or achieve orgasm. For men on these medications they can take viagra - but what is the equivalent for women?

Good luck with even finding a doctor who knows about vaginismus never mind believing it's a thing.
We've had to explain this to a woman who was poly just because she couldn't have PIV sex. She didn't know why it hurt but decided she was just not made for PIV.
We told her. She messaged back some time later to say she was dealing with the issue and she had even managed to have sex with her boyfriend.
It's 2020 but women's problems are still very much ignored. |

From a study;
Roughly 42% of the women taking Viagra reported increased satisfaction during foreplay and sexual intercourse, compared with 28% of women taking the placebo. Likewise, 57% of the Viagra-treated women reported improved sensation in the genital area during sex, compared with 44% of women taking the placebo |

I'm fortunate not to suffer from this, but had gynae problems of a different kind and the impact on my sex life (female) was irrelevant unless I wanted more kids. I didn't. But even if a guy has a bloody vasectomy and doesn't want more kids, I bet they take the erectile dysfunction seriously! Women's sexual health is centuries behind. Just calling the removal of the womb hyster-ectomy. Why the hyster? Because it refers to curing hysteria... It should be called a uterectomy. |

"Is there such a thing "
Ignore the the pedantic trolls its clear you are looking for an aphrodisiac that stimulated a woman. There are pheromones but you may find stimulating a woman's mind is all you need to do to get the desired result. |

What, for pointing out biology and some facts that pervade the medical world? There was no intention to irritate anyone. No names have been flung from this end and there's no need to add unnecessary 'x' to everything to try and make it sound pleasant.
I hope you never have female sexual dysfunction - you will be sadly disappointed at the range of treatment options. |

Sadly, an effective 'Lady Viagra' does not exist.
In the beginning, it was thought Viagra might work in females but the experimental data quickly disproved this notion. There is a significant placebo effect though and some women benefit simply from the idea that they are taking Viagra.
Recently the FDA approved two drugs, flibanserin and bremalonotide, specifically for women with low sex drives. However, these are aimed at people who have sex perhaps once or twice a month. With the drug, they might have sex a couple more times per month. So these drugs will not help the average fab lady who already has a high sex drive.
Then there are some drugs with anecdotal evidence such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. There are cases where female patients on the drug have had multiple spontaneous orgasms a day. |
