Female Viagra: The Little “Blue” Pink Pill For Women Is On Its Way To Patients

So what does this little pink pill (referred to as “female viagra” and called Flibanserin) do?  Because a woman’s libido relies on a complexity of factors such as emotional, environmental, and physical health, the drug is thought to be beneficial because it alters dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain.  In studies, the female participants reported an increase in the number of sexually satisfying events each month, which is a promising statistic. Flibanserin was approved by the FDA in August 2015 and will be available to patients in October 2015. Dr. Brady would be happy to review whether it is a viable option for you.  It is important, as with any medication to weigh the benefits against potential side effects and alternative treatments. Specifically, it is important to avoid alcoholic beverages if a patient chooses to take Flibanserin.
