Journal Title: Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is a persistent or recurrent deficiency or absence of sexual desire. It can cause prominent distress and interpersonal difficulty of women. There have been drugs available to treat sexual disorders in men when there is no such drug for women. Nowadays, FDA approved Flibanserin to treat HSDD of premenopausal women. This drug Flibanserin has no novel mechanism of action but the possible mechanism of action is modulating serotonin and dopamine activity in brain parts as balance of these systems is significance for a normal sexual response.
