Fliban 100

What is Fliban 100 by Indian Brand?

Fliban 100 is a medicine for women, not for men. Each tablet contains 100 mg of flibanserin, a drug for low sexual desire, and the pack from Indian Brand holds 4 tablets. Flibanserin is known in the United States under the brand name Addyi, where it is prescribed for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).

The media often call flibanserin "the female Viagra", but that comparison is misleading. Sildenafil and similar drugs act on blood flow and are taken shortly before sex. Flibanserin acts in the brain, was first studied as an antidepressant, and has to be taken every day for weeks before any change can be judged.

What is it used for?

HSDD means a persistent lack of sexual interest that causes real distress and is not explained by another medical or psychiatric condition, a relationship problem, or a side effect of medication. Flibanserin works on serotonin receptors: it stimulates the 5-HT1A type and blocks the 5-HT2A type. This is thought to shift the balance of brain signals toward dopamine and noradrenaline, which support desire and reward, and away from the inhibiting effect of serotonin.

What users and doctors can expect from Fliban 100:

• a gradual increase in interest in sex, not an immediate effect;
• in clinical trials, a modest increase in satisfying sexual events compared with placebo;
• a benefit that appears in some women and not in others.

How is it taken?

The established regimen is one 100 mg tablet a day, taken at bedtime. Bedtime dosing matters because flibanserin can cause sleepiness and a drop in blood pressure, and taking it during the day increases the risk of fainting. Current US labeling advises waiting at least two hours after one or two drinks before the bedtime dose, and skipping that night's dose after three or more drinks. If there is no improvement after about eight weeks, treatment is usually stopped. Use must be agreed with a qualified medical professional, who should also look for other causes of low desire first.

Side effects and restrictions

The most common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, nausea, tiredness, insomnia and dry mouth. Low blood pressure and fainting are the serious risks, especially with alcohol or with medicines that slow the breakdown of flibanserin. For that reason it must not be combined with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as several antifungal drugs, some antibiotics and HIV medicines, and grapefruit juice should be avoided as well. Women with liver disease should not use it, and it is not intended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Activities that need alertness, such as driving, should wait at least six hours after a dose.
