What is women's Viagra?

The drug for increasing sexual desire in women can soon go on sale in the US.The Federal Food and Drug Administration has approved this tool. This is the drug Addyi, which is intended for women and developed by Sprout Pharmaceuticals Inc.

"Women's Viagra" is called a small tablet that has a pink color. It is designed to increase sexual desire, but according to experts, the effect of its application is insignificant. There are many side effects. In particular, taking this medication can lead to a marked decrease in blood pressure( down to the fainting condition).It should be noted that these side effects are intensified if the drug is taken concomitantly with alcohol. Given the aforementioned side effects, the Federal Food and Drug Administration only accepts prescription drugs for this product.

But even despite such results, the very appearance of this drug for women can be called a major breakthrough in the field of sexual health. After all, before that there was not a single drug that would have an effect on the female libido, increasing it. At the same time, it's worth noting the men's Viagra, which has been on the market since 1998.It is from this time that everyone is selling Viagra from Pfizer.

As for the prospects for women's Viagra, they are very doubtful. Representatives of the non-profit organization PublicCitizen, which is called to protect the interests of consumers, believe that, given the side effects, this drug can not last long on the pharmaceutical market. But at the same time, experts estimate the potential market of "women's Viagra" at 2 billion dollars.

Speaking about the increase in women's sexual desire, it is worth noting that earlier attempts were made to develop such a tool. In particular, in 2013 the company Emotional Brain developed a drug that has a simultaneous effect on the body and the mind. It was assumed that the effect of his admission would not only be at the physiological level, but also increase motivation. After all, often the causes of decreased libido in women lie at the level of the psyche, and not physiology. In the drug Lybridos, developed by scientists, there is buspirone, which refers to substances that stimulate the production of dopamine and serotonin, responsible for pleasure. It is planned that this drug will go on sale in 2016.
