Female 'Viagra' boosts woman's sex drive after failing as antidepressant
A 'female Viagra' that works on the pleasure centre of a woman's brain to restore flagging libido could be on sale within two years.
Women who take flibanserin once a day have sex more often and enjoy it more, large-scale trials have shown.
The pill proved so popular that its German manufacturers are poised to apply for permission to sell it in Europe, meaning it could be on British bedside cabinets by 2011.
With up to a quarter of women suffering from low libido, it is predicted to be at least as successful as Viagra, with worldwide sales topping £2billion a year.
Like Viagra, which was originally designed to treat heart problems, flibanserin was formulated with another purpose in mind.
It was created as an anti-depressant but those taking part in trials said it did nothing to boost their mood but did wonders for their sex drive.
Large-scale trials involving almost 2,000 women with low libido, or hypoactive sexual desire disorder, have now confirmed its worth as an aphrodisiac.
After taking the drug, the women had sex 60 per cent more often and also found it more satisfying.
They also felt less stressed about their sex lives, the European Society for Sexual Medicine's annual conference heard yesterday.
Researcher Professor John Thorp, of the University of North Carolina in the US, said: 'Flibanserin was a poor anti-depressant.
'However, astute observers noted that it increased libido in laboratory animals and human subjects.
'So, we conducted multiple clinical trials and the women in our studies who took it for hypoactive sexual desire disorder reported significant improvements in sexual desire and satisfactory sexual experiences.
'It's essentially a Viagra-like drug for women, in that diminished desire or libido is the most common feminine sexual problem, like erectile dysfunction is in men.'
The drug works directly on the brain's pleasure zones, correcting levels of the chemicals, or neurotransmitters, involved in generating feelings of sexual desire.
Researcher Dr Elaine Jolly said: 'By modulating these neurotransmitter systems, flibanserin may help to restore a balance between inhibitory and excitatory factors, leading to a healthy sexual response.'
However, it takes several weeks for the effect to build up, meaning it cannot simply be 'popped' on demand.
It is also not side-effect free, with up to one in eight of the women taking part in trials dropping out due to dizziness, fatigue and sleep problems.
It is not known yet how much it will cost, but is unlikely to be widely prescribed by a health service struggling to find cash to fund treatment of life-threatening illnesses.
NHS prescriptions of Viagra are mainly limited to men with pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes and prostate cancer.
Some doctors are also sceptical about the need for pills to boost female sex drive and have accused drug companies of creating the provide a market for new medications.
But flibanserin's makers, Boehringer, say that loss of libido is a hugely underdiagnosed condition that can have a devastating effect on relationships.
And Paula Hall, of Relate, said that while HRT can help ease menopause-related libido loss, there are no drugs for younger women.
She said: 'Female loss of libido is a big problem and it is not going away.
'It can cause problems within a relationship and affect self-esteem.
'This research is really quite exciting for women with loving partners whose loss of libido is a physical thing.
'But it is not going to fix a broken relationship or help with looking after the kids or cleaning the house.'
