A new medication called Lybrido that stimulates female libido may be in the market in a few years.After the successful entry of Viagra into the market for males, scientists started developing something in similar lines for females. Among the more successful attempts is a Viagra-like drug called Lybrido that is coated with testosterone and mint. The effects of the combination have been found to be particularly effective in producing a response that could not be achieved by an individual drug. The new pill acts both on the body as well as the mind to bring about its effect. This is especially necessary since low libido is often due to both, physical as well as psychological factors. It increases the level of a hormone called dopamine in the brain, which plays an important role in lust.
The pill increases a woman's desire for sex. It will be especially useful in women who suffer from low libido, which has been observed in women in long-term relationships. Sex following the pill tends to be more satisfying. The women are also more likely to make love more often. The pill, however, has to be taken three and a half hours before sex.
During clinical trials, some women suffered from side effects like headaches and flushing of the face or neck. Taking the pill may also put the women under pressure to perform.
Though initial studies on the pill appear to be promising, further large-scale studies are necessary to establish the usefulness and safety of the pill. Thus, it may take at least another three years before the pill is out in the market.
