Flibanserin : Female Viagra To Get FDA Approval This Week?

‘Female Viagra’ Flibanserin Could Finally Be Approved By The FDA This Week.

The FDA is expected to rule Tuesday on the drug Flibanserin, which is made by the Raleigh-based company Sprout Pharmaceuticals.

If approved, it would become the first medication available to help improve the female libido.

In June, an FDA advisory panel recommended the drug be approved after failing FDA approval twice, first back in 2010.

There are critics who argue not much has changed since 2010 and that the drug’s effect on the libido is not clear and side effects such as sleepiness and dizziness are problematic.

The drug must be taken daily over a period of weeks to become effective.
