Viagra for women

Does Pink Viagra offer the much-needed relief to women suffering from low sex drive or is it just a moneymaking scheme cooked up by the pharmaceutical industry? That is the question the FDA will face next month when it considers whether or not to approve flibanserin, a new drug that, despite its not-so-sexy name, promises to boost women’s sexual desires by altering their brain chemicals.Pfizer is preparing to unveil results of studies on healthy women, which are believed to show that Viagra can boost libido and heighten their experience. The firm is thought to be working on a slightly different formulation for the little blue pill, which is already being dubbed Pink Viagra.The new drug would require a new licence, as would extending the original Viagra formulation for impotent men to include women, but a female version of Viagra could be available on prescription within two years. Viagra’s catapult to blockbuster status after its 1998 approval, set off a flurry of interest in me-too medications for women.However, drugmaker Pfizer hopes that its “little blue pill” would also ignite female libido fizzled, making it clear that a woman’s sexuality is more complicated than a man’s. Scientists found that flibanserin, developed as an antidepressant, was ineffective for treatment of depression.But the drug appeared to produce an unexpected side effect, boosting women’s libido.
