Female "Viagra":Drug to increase women's Sex Drive
Flibanserin a Pill to Cure lack of Sexual Desire
An expert panel of advisors at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)recommended Thursday to allow the marketing of the first female"Viagra",Flibanserin,a new drug designed to increase women's sex drive.
The drug produced by Sprout Pharmaceuticals a North Carolina-based company,has already been rejected by the FDA twice since 2010.
This time they voted 18-6 in favor of approving Sprout Pharmaceutical’s daily pill flibanserin,but under conditions because of certain risks and side effects such as nausea, fainting, dizziness.it can also lower blood pressure!
For that a coalition led by the National Women’s Health Network opposes approval of the drug and argue that pharmaceutical companies only seek to increase its profits.
But The FDA faced a strong public campaign in support of drug,
The women who participated in the trial found the drug had increased the number of “sexually satisfying events”
Flibanserin would be the first nonhormonal treatment for Hypoactive sexual desire disorder -HSDD-,in premenopausal women.
Unlike Viagra which try to increase blood flow to create an erection, flibanserin works by stimulating woman's sexual desire.
By approuving this medical treatment of female sexual dysfunction,The FDA Advisory Committee has finally made an end to the suffering of millions of American women from HSDD.
