To celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th, Do You Really Know is ready to cover a whole host of subjects linked to love and desire! From trends like sologamy and sneating, to the emergence of female viagra, spend all week learning about the concepts that surround our love lives in the 21st century. What is female viagra? It's been over two decades now since viagra was first approved for use in 1998, the little blue pill from Pfizer becoming the first oral treatment for erectile dysfunction. Its use has steadily increased over the years, with the NHS reporting just under 3 million prescriptions in 2016, compared to 1 million in 2006. Its success has led pharmaceutical companies to look for a female equivalent. In 2015, the American Food & Drug Authority approved a pink pill called Flibanserin, marketed as Addyi, which became known as female viagra. How does it work? Let's cut to the chase then; does female viagra really work? What can be done to help women who want to boost their libido? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In this podcast, James Cave (Editor-in-Chief) and David Phizackerley (Deputy Editor) provide an overview of the December issue of DTB. They discuss a recently published national report on overprescribing of medicines. The editors talk about a study that assessed the accuracy of home blood pressure monitors (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/59/12/179) and highlight a safety alert on topical steroid withdrawal reactions (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/59/12/184). They also review an article on the US Food and Drug Administration's decision to license bremelanotide and flibanserin for 'hypoactive sexual desire disorder' in women (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/59/12/185).

Chances are you’ve probably heard of the “ little blue pill” that gives men erections almost like magic. But have you ever heard of Flibanserin? This “female Viagra” is the topic of this week’s episode, where we start with a little science and biology but of course get into some history, learning about Erectile Dysfunction, Female Sexual Dysfunction and how their histories differ so vastly. Ranging from Mesopotamian spells that men used to cast on each other to ward off virility-stealers to the DSM-V and how its use and misuse affects women’s mental and sexual health to this day. In our Feminist Corner, we discuss the concept of “normal”, especially in the context of sexual dysfunction, and what the “Charmed Circle” is as well as how it’s used to understand sex in larger circles of society. Flibanserin deserves more of a role in the spotlight, so that’s exactly what we’re giving her!

Host: Michael Krychman, MD Flibanserin was one of the first FDA-approved medications for treatment of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in pre-menopausal women. But the drug's effectiveness has frequently been called into question, and the known side effects such as fainting, dizziness, and low blood pressure, many of which were found to be exacerbated by alcohol and hormonal contraception, created concerns for clinicians and patients alike. Host Dr. Michael Krychman talks with guest Dr. Lisa Larkin, women’s health internist and Director of the Women's Health Center at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, about the “Pink Viagra" pill, concerns around its safety and effectiveness, and the diagnosis and treatment of HDSS.

Last August, Flibanserin -- or "Addyi" -- became the first FDA-approved drug aimed at treating sexual dysfunction in women. Sprout, the company that developed the so-called “female Viagra” was understandably excited, and even more so the next day when they were bought by pharmaceutical giant Valeant, for one billion dollars. But after a rocky year, Valeant announced Monday that they had dismissed the entire sales force associated with Flibanserin and would reintroduce the drug later in the year. When Flibanserin first hit the shelves last year, we took a deep dive into its marketing message and the nebulous world of prescription drugs and female desire.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Interview with Ellen T. M. Laan, PhD, author of Efficacy and Safety of Flibanserin for the Treatment of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, and Steven Woloshin, MD, MS, author of US Food and Drug Administration Approval of Flibanserin: Even the Score Does Not Add Up

Flibanserin was touted to be the female Viagra. Martha Henriques explains why it failed to live up to the hype.

Come imparare in breve tempo a "funzionare" in un Paese diverso, dove lingua, cultura e abitudini sono del tutto nuove e sconosciute? Quali difficoltà e opportunità dovranno affrontare tutti i componenti della famiglia? Il Trasferimento all'estero è il tema della prossima puntata di Nessuna è Perfetta. Maria Latella ne parla con i due esperti della settimana, Francesca Prandstraller, docente di risorse umane Francesca Prandstraller Docente di Risorse Umane e Organizzazione all'Università Bocconi ed autrice di "Vivere all'estero, guida per una relocation di successo" e Alberto Frausin, Ceo Carlsberg Italia. Si parlerà anche di Viagra Rosa dopo l'approvazione da parte della Food and Drug Administration americana del Flibanserin, un farmaco che secondo l'Agente provocatore della settimana, Vittorio Sgarbi, sarà un fallimento. Dello stesso parere la Sunday Girl Teresa Mannino che a quanto pare non ne ha proprio bisogno. Nel finale i consigli pratici della Coach Maria Serena Ciambellotti.

The first FDA approved female , Flibanserin(aka Adyii), will be available for consumers this October, 2015!  BUT, before you jump on the band wagon there's a few things about the creation of this drug you might want to hear about...  T&A talk with Liz Canner, director of the documentary film 'Orgasm inc.' about the race for the pharmaceutical's holy grail, how the 'need' for this drug even came into being, and big pharma's influence on our sexuality.  Fascinating, informative and uncomfortably eye-opening. Watch Orgasm inc. on Netflix, iTunes and everywhere else: www.orgasminc.org And, check out A's blog, 'Female : A Cautionary Tale'  for a deeper look at Flibanserin's story Show Notes In clinical trials, the subjects kept a daily diary and across the board, they recorded no significant daily increase in sexual desire (03:47) Who started the rumors of sexism and injustice at the FDA?  (05:09) Flibanserin was originally developed as an SSRI to treat depression, but it didn’t work as an anti-depressant  (05:40) What is ‘Conditioned Branding’?  (08:05) What is HSDD and is it real? (08:50) Drug companies have to have a clearly defined disease to start testing.  (09:45) The doctors that came together to define Female Sexual Dysfunction had ties to 22 drug companies.

Host: Michael Krychman, MD Guest: Sheryl A. Kingsberg, PhD Flibanserin's approval by the FDA for women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), touted by the press as the "Pink Viagra," created an enormous amount of media hype across the nation. But the facts on this drug's mechanism of action, intended benefits, adverse effects, and efficacy borne in clinical trials have gone largely under the radar. Joining Dr. Michael Krychman to discuss the rise of flibanserin and its key takeaways for clinicians is Dr. Sheryl Kingsberg, Chief of the Division of Behavioral Medicine in the Department of OB/GYN and Professor in the Departments of Reproductive Biology and Psychiatry at Case Medical Center University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio.

Pegging, porn, and prostitution. A listener wrote in with a terrific message and mentioned pegging. Which sent us off on a bender about butt sex. Then, Dawn and Dylan talk about the new pink Viagra pill and why that name is so misleading. Flibanserin/Addyi is not what they're claiming it is, and there are better ways for most people to stimulate low desire. Dawn ran across a fun article about Pornhub viewers that found women (yes, it's heteronormative) watch more hardcore porn than men. We discuss. Finally, after nearly a month, we talk about the amazing Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit. With amazing talks by Charlie Glickman, Joan Price, Monica Raye Simpson, and more, it was a powerful weekend of sex and human rights.   You know we love hearing from you, so here's how to reach us Call or text: 747-444-1840 (standard messaging rates apply) Email: info@sexgetsreal.com Contact form: Click here

I'm stunned by the extremes to which a pharmaceutical company will go when attempting to get FDA approval for some new drug. Take a look at the latest offering from privately-held Sprout Pharmaceuticals, who claim they now have a “female Viagra.” Yes, really. It is called Addyi. This drug is potentially dangerous, with some frightening side effects. They include an increased risk of syncope—temporary loss of consciousness—as well as severe low blood sugar, insomnia, dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness, sedation, and anxiety. Manufacturers warn if you decide to use it, not to drink alcohol. I wouldn't touch Addyi with a ten foot pole. Addyi is actually Flibanserin—a failed antidepressant. Unlike Viagra, which is designed to bring more blood flow to male genitals if a man chooses to use it temporarily, Addyi is supposed to be used every day—long-term by women. It claims to enhance a woman's sexual impulses by targeting, not your genitals but your brain. Flibanserin is similar to other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Prozac. Ironically these drugs are notorious not for increasing libido, but for blunting it. Some time ago, Big Pharma invented a whole new “illness” known as Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, defined as “persistently or recurrently deficient (or absent) sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity.” Addyi is supposed to treat this. Originally developed by family-owned Boehringer Ingelheim in Germany Flibanserin, after lengthy trails was judged to be ineffective as an antidepressant. Boehringer had submitted this drug to the FDA for approval in 2011. It was refused. Out of 1300 women who took part in trials, 15% dropped out due to unpleasant side effects. The FDA rejected the appeal, saying that whatever the drugs drug's minor benefits might be they could not justify its nasty side effects. So Boehringer sold their invention to Sprout Pharmaceuticals in 2011. Who tried their luck with the FDA in 2013 and also got nowhere. However, Sprout's persistence, massive lobbying and and financial investments amassed more than 60,000 supporting signatures so finally won FDA's approval for the drug in August of 2015. This FDA approval stands next to many other applications which have won FDA approval in the past, showing that, when companies spend enough money, they can, in effect, force the FDA to approve many useless or dangerous drugs. Adriane Fugh-Berman MD, Pharmacology Professor at Georgetown University, describes Addyi as "a mediocre aphrodisiac with scary side-effects.” She adds, “The only thing that's different is a clever, aggressive public relations campaign that Sprout Pharmaceuticals waged successfully.” Meanwhile, the outspoken Dr Mark Sircus makes his own assessment of the situation, which is well worth listening to. Sircus says, “Most doctors and medical associations just do not get that women are different from men sexually. They do not have genitals that function independent of their hearts and minds. The feminine principle is pretty much dead in modern civilization and especially at the FDA, which runs like the SS, a medical Gestapo. The FDA again proves what type of organization it is exposing women in America to the dangers and horrors of pharmaceutical drugs. They are the most unnatural organization in the world poisoning people instead of helping.” Need I say more? If you want to learn about safe natural aphrodisiacs that not only work but are a delight to use, I'll be covering some of my favorites on our next two videocasts. Look forward to seeing you then.
