Fliban 100

Fliban 100 is a non-hormonal tablet for women with persistently low sexual desire, produced by Centurion Laboratories. The active substance is Flibanserin, and the pack contains 4 tablets of 100 mg each. It is one of very few medicines developed specifically for female libido rather than for physical arousal.

How flibanserin works

Flibanserin is often called "the female Viagra", but the comparison is misleading. Sildenafil and similar drugs act on blood vessels and only help once desire is already there. Flibanserin works in the brain instead. It stimulates one type of serotonin receptor (5-HT1A) and blocks another (5-HT2A), which is thought to lower serotonin activity in the prefrontal cortex while increasing dopamine and noradrenaline. Dopamine and noradrenaline are linked with sexual interest and excitement, whereas serotonin tends to dampen it.

The compound was first studied as an antidepressant. It did not prove useful for depression, but researchers noticed its effect on sexual desire, and it was approved in the United States in 2015 for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). Because it acts on brain chemistry, it is not an on-demand pill: any benefit builds gradually with regular use over several weeks.

What Fliban 100 is used for

• Treating low sexual desire in premenopausal women that causes distress and has no other clear cause
• Increasing interest in sex and the number of satisfying sexual experiences
• Offering a non-hormonal option that does not change oestrogen or testosterone levels

The improvement in clinical trials was modest, and not every woman responds. It is not intended for men, and it is not meant for low desire caused by relationship problems, another medical condition or other medicines.

Alcohol, interactions and other precautions

Fliban 100 should only be used after a qualified medical professional has assessed the cause of low desire and set the dosage and duration individually. Flibanserin commonly causes drowsiness, so it is not compatible with driving or operating machinery while its effect is active. Alcohol is the most important interaction: together they can cause a sharp fall in blood pressure and fainting. It must not be used with moderate or strong inhibitors of the liver enzyme CYP3A4, which include some antifungals, antibiotics and HIV medicines as well as grapefruit juice, and it is unsuitable for anyone with liver disease. It is not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Side effects of flibanserin

• Dizziness and sleepiness, the most frequently reported effects
• Nausea and tiredness
• Difficulty sleeping and a dry mouth
• Low blood pressure and fainting, especially with alcohol or interacting medicines

Anyone who feels faint should lie down and get medical help if symptoms do not settle quickly.
