US’ FDA approves Addyi – the female Viagra with health warnings

Addyi – the first drug to treat low sexual desire in women won approval from U.S. health regulators. The drug will boost sexual desire in women. The pink pill will be sold under the brand name Addyi and made by privately held Sprout Pharmaceuticals. It will only be available through certified and specially trained health care professionals and pharmacies due to its safety issues.

  • When taken with alchohol, Addyi will reduce the blood pressure and may cause fainting.
  • The drug should not take with antifungals, which are commonly prescribed for yeast infections.

Addyi, whose chemical name is flibanserin, is designed for pre-menopausal women whose lack of sexual desire causes distress. The condition is formally known as hypoactive sexual desire disorder, or HSDD. The drug needs to be taken daily. Addyi has been nicknamed the “female Viagra” even though it does not work like Pfizer Inc’s blockbuster Viagra pill (sildenafil) for men that in 1998 became the first approved drug for erectile dysfunction. While we have often heard of many ways for men to increase their sexual libido, and it is more often than not the men who look into options for penis enlargement or increase of libido (and articles like https://penetric.com/how-to-make-pp-bigger/ can provide some helpful hints), this is one of the first times that anyone has heard of a ‘viagra’ for women. The interesting part is that when the Viagra would start showing its full potential, the desire in women to have sex would be as high as it used to be when they were in their 20s or 30s. It could come as a surprise to some of their partners in case they are unaware that their girlfriends or wives are taking these pills. However, both would want to extract the most fun out of this situation and could go on to include sex machines, 100% lifelike sex dolls, or similar other adult toys to achieve that, in a way accomplishing the purpose of this pill.

Addyi is not a drug a woman can take an hour before having sex. She has to take it for weeks and months in order to see any benefit at all. Sprout Pharmaceutical’s drug is intended to treat women who report emotional stress due to a lack of libido. Unlike Viagra, which affects blood flow to the genitals, Addyi is meant to activate sexual impulses in the brain for sexual encounters with a partner, or even for masturbation with something like a suction cup dildo.

How Viagra Works?
  • Viagra is the trade name for a drug called Sildenafil. Viagra is one of a class of drugs known as PDE-5 (Phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitors.
  • Viagra and the other PDE-5 inhibitors can help men with erectile dysfunction (male impotence) by enhancing the erectile response when a man is sexually stimulated.
  • When a man get sexually stimulated, the nervous system in the erectile tissue of the penis releases nitric oxide (NO), which stimulates an enzyme that produces a messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Viagra works by maintaining the level of cGMP in the smooth muscle cells.
  • Viagra can remain effective for between four and six hours.
  • Viagra’s most common side-effects are headache and facial flushing.
