The famous blue pill (Viagra) entered the pharmaceutical market around the world in 1998. This was a real revolution for men suffering from erectile dysfunction. And now there are rumors of the imminent appearance of Female Viagra.
Behind many years hard struggle for this product to enter pharmaceutical market has been going, as well as its continuous improvement in order finally to get the approval from FDA.
And although today there is no “official approval”, you can almost certainly say that generic Viagra for women will be in US pharmacies very soon, and other countries worldwide.
And, of course, there are certain facts that should be considered. It’s no wonder it took so much time in attempts to create a “pink version” from Canadian Pharmacy, but this tablet can dramatically change the lives of thousands of women who have problems in their sexual lives and become an adequate solution to the problem.
Female Viagra
Fact#1: How does Female Viagra Perform?
First of all, it should be noted that male and female Viagra are fundamentally different from each other in its impact on human’s body.
In the case of men drug’s main aim is to raise blood pressure and at the same time relax penile blood vessels. Thus, blood flows more easily into the body and man feels the sexual excitement.
The women are very different. Female Viagra of generic origin has a direct effect on brain, increasing dopamine level.
And so it has become clearer, then we go into some aspects of the topic and examine all detail.
Mode of Action “Addyi“
“Addyi” is a commercial name that was given to female Viagra, and under which it has appeared in US pharmacies.
The active drug ingredient is flibanserin, a chemical compound that affects some neurotransmitters in the brain:
That is a kind of “activator” that combines certain receptors (such as serotonin). Its work is very similar to antidepressants action. This is not surprising since initially, it was just this purpose, and the main goal is to struggle with depression, anxiety and fatigue.
It inhibits dopamine, but in this case, instead of activization it reduces its impact to fix hypoactive sexual desire in women.
Fact#2: Who Is Female Viagra?
Thus, target “Addyi” audience is women of the following types: those who are diagnosed with hypoactive sexual desire. What is its purpose? It is purpose is to increase libido.
The Guide to Diagnostic and Statistical Mental Disorders describes the problem as decreased libido, a condition in which women do not arise sexual fantasies and sexual life for them becomes unattractive.
Here we are not talking about the monotony and lack of motivation, which eventually becomes a problem for many couples when people start to neglect each other. Also, it is not associated with any physical problems.
We are talking about the so-called “clinical case”. Most often, it happens with women in premenopausal period. Therefore, this drug is not recommended to use just because of lack of sexual desire.
The above mentioned FDA it is recommended to take Canada Viagra only by women if they have not yet reached menopause, but who are already diagnosed “hypoactive sexual desire.” You can ask why. It is because if you believe the organization, otherwise drug will act as a placebo or self-hypnosis.
Fact#3: Is Female Viagra Effective or not?
Here available data are somehow contradictory. Clinical trials of this drug conducted by Sprout Pharmaceuticals, but it also has the rights to sell it. FDA, for its part, also conducted researches. And the results were very different.
These tests were carried out on more than 11,000 women during the period of 5 years. Three attempts for 24 weeks, the dosage of 100 mg to 2,400 premenopausal women diagnosed with “hypoactive sexual desire”. Half of them were given a placebo, and the other – “Addyi”.
The results of Sprout Pharmaceuticals are as follows: from 46 to 60% of women noticed an improvement.
At FDA figure is much lower: only 10% reported positive changes in their sexual life.
