With the new Pink Pill in the market there are questions raised on why did FDA rejected it twice in 2010? Also, Why it will not be able to work its magic on women as it is doing on men? Women do not need a sexual arousal drug because there can be multiple things affecting their sexual desires.
Not So Complex Things Affecting Women’s Sex Response:
- High level of Stress in day to day activities affects the sexual desire in women
- Pregnancy and Menopause, the major life changers in a woman’s life can also trigger the disturbance in the sexual desires
- Reaching Orgasm is always a demand. As it takes longer time to gain the climax, which is elusive for majority of the women and their presumptions about the same leads to low interest in sex.
- Some of the chronic disorders like Diabetes or multiple sclerosis can also bring fluctuations in women’s sexual response.
How FDA Defines Its Use:
Flibanserin is sold under the trade name of Addyi which is majorly for the women who has “hypoactive sexual desire disorder,” which is defined by FDA as “characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and is not due to a co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, problems within the relationship, or the effects of a medication or other drug substance.”
Experts Take:
Dr. Ajith Chakravarthy, A Sexologist
| “I think FDA’s approval for the pink pill is a welcome move and it is liberating for females. |
| However other influencing factors like orgasmic disorder due to lack of skills of couple , partner’s sexual dysfunction, relationship issues and compatibility of couples should be considered while dealing with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder.”Dr. Gina Ogden, author of The Return of Desire and Expanding the Practice of Sex Therapy
“The pharmaceutical search for a pink Viagra is doomed, because there is no simple physiological route to sexual desire. Women’s sexual response is interactive. It involves more than just physical sensation, lubrication, and other signs that can be counted and measured. It involves what women feel and think, and what sex means in their lives.” |

How Flibanserin Work’s?
- According to Sprout Pharmaceuticals, the makers of the Pink Pills, It works on women’s brain
- The pill targets its aim on neurotransmitters or chemicals that affect sexual desire
- The pink pill will increase dopamine and norepinephrine level which will awaken sexual excitement
- It decreases serotonin level which is responsible for sexual diffidence
Working with your neurons, balancing the hormones, Flibanserin increases the sexual desire in a woman; however as a flip side of every coin, this drug also comes with do’s and don’ts and it appears that it is a newbie trying to make it place in market rather than helping the ladies with low sex desires.
Why It Is A Big No To Consider?
- The adverse events include dizziness, nausea, fatigue, sleepiness, and trouble sleeping
- The FDA panel is still on research and skeptical whether it would react with the other pills taken. Ex. The Contraceptive pills
- There might be an adverse effect if it is taken along with the alcohol
- It is highly not recommended for pregnant women
- One has to take the pill regularly without a skip, irrespective of when you want to have sex.
Having low libido is the main issue here. Consumption of pills which leaves adverse effects make no sense. Instead of taking an allopathy way why not work on our libido? There are some of the greatest remedies which you would not at all deny.
