It is the first FDA-approved treatment for a sexual desire disorder for either sex.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/NewsEvents\/Newsroom\/PressAnnouncements\/ucm458734.htm\">statement<\/a>, the FDA said that they strive \u201cto protect and advance the health of women, and we are committed to supporting the development of safe and effective treatments for female sexual dysfunction.\u201d HSDD is defined as low sex drive that causes personal distress or interpersonal difficulty and is not due to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Co-existing medical conditions<\/li>\n<li>Psychiatric conditions<\/li>\n<li>Relationship problems<\/li>\n<li>Effects of medication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s considered \u201cacquired\u201d when it develops in someone who didn\u2019t have problems with sexual desire previously. \u201cGeneralized\u201d means that it occurs regardless of situation, type of sexual activity, or partner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Viagra Works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Viagra, the treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) in men, has been around since 1998, and it works by addressing the problem of insufficient blood flow to the penis. Viagra doesn\u2019t cause erections all by itself, but makes them possible in men who have decreased blood flow due to increased age, cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, or other issues that affect blood vessel function. It\u2019s taken on demand, and the effects wear off after several hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Flibanserin Works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flibanserin affects several brain chemicals that are associated with mood and appetite. The compound was originally studied as a possible treatment for depression, but it didn\u2019t work that well as an antidepressant. No one is really sure exactly how flibanserin increases sexual desire, but researchers know that it increases dopamine, which is a brain chemical associated with appetite and motivation. At the same time, it lowers levels of serotonin, which is a brain chemical associated with feelings of satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, flibanserin works in an entirely different manner than Viagra. It works on brain chemistry rather than the walls of blood vessels, so calling it \u201cfemale Viagra\u201d is somewhat unfortunate. But the nickname is not altogether unexpected either, since the drug, like Viagra, will be the first that\u2019s FDA approved for treating sexual dysfunction in women, and Viagra has become shorthand for \u201cenables sexual activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comparison Chart: Flibanserin vs. Viagra<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief summary of the differences between flibanserin and Viagra.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"216\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\"><strong>Flibanserin<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"208\"><strong>Viagra<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"216\"><strong>Designed to affect sex drive?<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">Yes<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"216\"><strong>Designed to affect blood flow?<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">No<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"216\"><strong>Short or long term effects?<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">Long<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Short<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"216\"><strong>How taken<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">Daily<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">As needed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"216\"><strong>Targeted patient age range<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">Pre-menopausal<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Adult men, no upper age limit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"216\"><strong>Side effects<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">Dizziness, nausea, fatigue<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Headache, indigestion<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"216\"><strong>Cost and insurance coverage<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">$30-75\/month depending on coverage<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/viagra\/average-cost-of-viagra-now-31-13-click-for-more-m0402\/\">$30-40 per pill<\/a>, insurance coverage rare<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"216\"><strong>Availability<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">Mid-October 2015<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Since March 1998<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Why the FDA Finally Came Around on Flibanserin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flibanserin was rejected by the FDA twice before. In 2010, the FDA noted that the compound did not achieve the key goal of increasing desire based on what was reported in patients\u2019 daily journal entries. Hence, they believed the drug\u2019s side effects outweighed its benefits. After that, Sprout Pharmaceuticals, which bought flibanserin from a German company in 2011, conducted another study of sexual desire using scoring that would make it easier to calculate statistical significance. That wasn\u2019t enough either, and the FDA rejected the drug a second time, saying they needed more safety data \u2013 particularly data on how flibanserin affects driving ability.<\/p>\n<p>Sprout conducted specific safety studies along with other clinical trials before submitting the results to the FDA once again. This time, the FDA granted approval, but not without controversy. Critics have speculated that lobbying by people in support of Sprout Pharmaceuticals and by those decrying the lack of sexual dysfunction drugs for women swayed the FDA, though the FDA is required to make all their decisions based on scientific evidence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alcohol and Flibanserin Don\u2019t Mix<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest unknowns is how big a factor alcohol will play in prescribing and use of flibanserin. Alcohol poses the potential for serious interaction with the drug, so flibanserin will only be prescribed by certified healthcare professionals and dispensed through certified pharmacies. Women are warned not to drink alcohol while taking flibanserin, and since flibanserin is taken every day long term, that means abstaining from alcohol for however long a woman takes the drug. This may prove to be too big a trade-off for some women to consider.<\/p>\n<p>And the effects of alcohol on those who take flibanserin are serious. It can cause blood pressure to drop enough to cause fainting, which is particularly significant in a drug where the FDA specifically ordered the manufacturer to conduct driving safety studies. Even though the drug has FDA approval, Sprout <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tarahaelle\/2015\/08\/24\/female-viagra-everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-sex-drug-flibanserin-but-were-afraid-ask\/\">must conduct three more studies<\/a> on how flibanserin interacts with alcohol.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16160\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16160\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/dance-party.jpg\" alt=\"Alcohol and flibanserin don\u2019t mix.

Will this affect sales?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Will the Nickname \u201cFemale Viagra\u201d Stick?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether they think flibanserin marks a breakthrough in treating sexual dysfunction in women, or whether it \u201cmedicalizes\u201d something that isn\u2019t really a medical problem, researchers and doctors agree that \u201cfemale Viagra\u201d is a misnomer. Flibanserin may, unfortunately, be stuck with the nickname, at least until the drug proves itself to help women have more satisfying sex drive and develops its own positive reputation (and possibly its own, non-Viagra-related nickname). If the drug doesn\u2019t do well on the market, calling it \u201cfemale Viagra\u201d won\u2019t really matter, because few people will be using it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HSDD is believed to affect between 5 million and 9 million women in the US in the 20- to 49-year age group. That\u2019s a lot of women with the potential to embrace a medical treatment for their low sexual desire. In women in particular, a huge range of factors affect sexual desire, including many that have nothing to do with physiology (like the many distractions of raising young children). It remains to be seen how successful flibanserin is in genuinely helping women with HSDD. Right now, the drug is expected to be introduced to the market in mid-October.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eDrugstore.com\">eDrugstore.com<\/a> is committed to helping customers have the sexual enjoyment they want for a full and happy life.
