A new medicine which was originally tested as a treatment for mild depression didn't seem to work well in that regard. But, according to a new report, the study found that the women testing it reported an increased libido.
Women who took the drug flibanserin when it was being tested as an anti-depressant said it didn't help them beat the glums, but did give them "an increase in libido that they liked," John Thorp, one of the investigators analyzing data from three clinical trials of the drug, told AFP.
Lack of desire is the most common sexual problem in women aged 30 to 60, just as erectile dysfunction, for which Viagra is one of a choice of treatments, is the most common sexual disorder among men in the same age bracket, Thorp said.
"Men remain interested but can't act or perform properly and women lose interest," said Thorp.
"So where Viagra and other erectile dysfunction medications work in the blood supply, flibanserin works in the brain, " he said.
Flibanserin is currently an investigational drug and is only available to women taking part in clinical trials. [Breitbart]
