Description:

Fliban 100 mg contains flibanserin, a medication used primarily for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in women, particularly premenopausal women. It is sometimes referred to as the “female Viagra,” though it works differently. Unlike sildenafil (Viagra), which enhances blood flow to the genitals, flibanserin works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain, specifically by balancing serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine to increase sexual desire.

Flibanserin is classified as a selective serotonin and norepinephrine receptor agonist/antagonist, which influences brain chemistry to improve sexual desire in women who are experiencing a lack of sexual desire that causes distress and is not related to a medical or mental condition.

Uses:

Fliban 100 mg is prescribed to treat:

• Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women.

• It is used when the lack of sexual desire causes distress in the patient and is not linked to other medical or mental health conditions.

Dosage and Administration:

Typical Dosage:

• Flibanserin (Fliban 100 mg) is typically taken as a once-daily dose, usually at bedtime, to reduce the likelihood of side effects like dizziness or sleepiness.

• The dose is 100 mg per day, and the patient should take it at the same time every night to maintain consistent blood levels.

Important Notes:

• Consistency is key. Flibanserin is most effective when taken regularly, so missing doses or taking the medication sporadically may reduce its effectiveness.

• The drug should not be taken with alcohol, as it can lead to severe side effects.

• Other medications, particularly those that affect the central nervous system (like sedatives or antidepressants), may interact with flibanserin, and your healthcare provider should be informed about all other drugs you are taking.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Fliban 100 mg may include:

• Dizziness

• Drowsiness

• Fatigue

• Nausea

• Insomnia

• Headache

In some cases, more serious side effects may occur, such as:

• Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing)

• Low blood pressure

• Fainting or feeling lightheaded

Severe drug interactions can occur when combined with alcohol, certain antidepressants, or other medications that can depress the central nervous system. Patients should consult their healthcare provider before combining Fliban 100 mg with other treatments.

Precautions & Warnings:

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Flibanserin as it can cause serious side effects, including low blood pressure, fainting, and sleepiness.

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Fliban 100 mg is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

• Liver Issues: Flibanserin is processed through the liver, and it may not be suitable for individuals with liver problems. A lower dose may be required in such cases.

• Other Medications: Flibanserin may interact with other medications, particularly those that affect serotonin levels, such as certain antidepressants, and medications that impact liver enzymes. Always disclose your full list of medications to your doctor.
