Food and Drug Administration approves a new drug for boosting women’s sexual desire, it is unlikely to work the same magic on a couple’s sex life as “the little blue pill”

…Several feminist organizations have pointed out that 26 drugs are now marketed for men with sexual dysfunction, and not a single one has been approved for women. 

…And even if flibanserin does get approved, it’s unlikely to work the same magic on a couple’s sex life as Viagra, said two experts, Dr.

…That’s because flibanserin targets sexual desire, a much more complicated issue than the mechanics of performance, both Minkin and Kavaler said.

…Several feminist organizations have pointed out that 26 drugs are now marketed for men with sexual dysfunction, and not a single one has been approved for women. They argue that the FDA has repeatedly rejected flibanserin’s drug approval application because of a sexist belief that women aren’t supposed to want or need sex.

…For instance, the drugs Lybridos and Lybrido, made by the company Emotional Brain, combine testosterone with either sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra; or BuSpar, an anti-anxiety drug, with the aim of treating women with low libido.

…In past trials, premenopausal women who took the drug reported, on average, gaining less than one additional pleasurable sexual experience per month, and some experienced side effects such as nausea, dizziness and drowsiness, Minkin said.

And unlike Viagra, which is taken only when someone wants to have sex, flibanserin must be taken daily, raising the risk of long-term side effects, according to a letter of concern sent by several women’s health organizations to the FDA last April.

…”Why is it that divorced women who date are interested in sex, or young women who date are interested in sex, but you can take a 35-year-old who’s got two kids — why would she want to have sex?

…An advisory committee to the Food and Drug Administration voted today to back the approval of a drug meant to boost the libido of women who struggle with decreased sex drive. In an 18-6 vote, the committee decided to recommend that the FDA approve the drug, Flibanserin, given certain labeling and risk management conditions, The Washington Post reports.

…It’s suggested for women who suffer from Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, a condition described at the advisory meeting as feeling like “a switch had gone off.”

…Sprout Pharmaceuticals said that in a 24-week clinical trial, 46 to 60 percent of women benefitted from the treatment, but detractors argue that if the placebo effect is taken into consideration only 10 percent of women actually benefitted.

…Despite the fact that Flibanserin has not been proven to be wholly beneficial, some doctors who testified at the FDA committee hearing today argued it was better than nothing. … The FDA approved the commercial use of Viagra in 1998, but it has yet to approve a similar libido booster for women. Viagra did try to expand its use to women in 1999, but it didn’t work the same way it did for men.

…Though men and women can both see a decrease in sex drive due to a number of factors, low sex drive in women tends to be more closely related to stress and relationship issues, AP reports. … Unlike Viagra, Flibanserin would need to be taken daily, regardless of whether or not the woman taking it wanted to have sex that day.
