Viagra for Women: Why is Addyi So Expensive?
If you want to think about sex drive in the same context as actual driving, it’s best to be in high gear on the freeway at all times instead of stop n’ go traffic. Sometimes you want to put the pedal down, but your body’s not going along with the plan. Men have Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and the like to help them improve their sex life, but women have their own concerns about libido dips or just generally low sex drives altogether. Addyi is a medication coming to be known as the Viagra for women but tends to be unfortunately pricey.
Increasing sex drive for women has become a whole lot simpler with the introduction of Addyi, and as you might expect many women really took notice when they first heard there was now a ‘sex drive for women’ drug on the market. Addyi is female Viagra, and in the same way most men who use Viagra for erectile dysfunction tend to be older Addyi is medication to restore sexual desire for women and it’s already known as the ‘little pink pill’ to a lot of women that are telling friends all about their use of it.
Another recent hot topic in regards to how women may be able to take Tribulus Terrestris to maintain a women’s libido in the same way it apparently boosts male libio. Something to keep in mind if you’re starting to move into more golden years but still know sex is an important part of your relationship with your partner.
We’ll share a little more in the way of tips for better sex life for older women at the end of this blog entry, and it certainly is an interesting subject.
Niche, For Now
The reason Addyi is so expensive is that not only is it expensive like most Rx medications in America, but it’s also the only drug out right now that is serving as the female Viagra to improve the libido of women. Eventually this will change, but for now you’re seeing how the patents on medications keep the prices for the drugs high over the first five (5) plus years or so. Eventually we may see a generic Addyi and you’ll be able to order medication online from Canada then too. That’s often the best way to pay less for prescriptions if you live in the continental USA.
HSDD, and How Does Addyi Work?
HSDD is Hypoactive Sexual Drive Disorder is the name of the condition, and usually it’s a mix of hormonal deficiencies or imbalances and situational factors dependent on the individual. But the biochemistry side of it is definitely much more of a factor, and so the Viagra for women works very differently than the Viagra for men does. With men it’s about promoting blood flow into the area to stimulate, but with Addyi it’s different in creating more interest in sex and desire for sex in women.
Researchers believe that HSDD is based on brain structure and specifically with how certain kinds will make it so that some women are not able to focus on their own pleasure and gratification as naturally. There’s a lot more to it than that, but that’s a basics of how Addyi works. Without getting too scientific, the drug (Fibanserin) works by going a neurotransmitter chemical rewiring in the brain and parts of the brain that are more receptive to seeking reward and gratification.
It’s impressive pharmacology, let me tell you that much. If we’re going to talk about Addyi as Viagra for women this way and drugs that can help with sex drive we should look at the other end of the equation too – drugs that may be limiting your sex drive even more than it is already limited on its own.
Get It in You
If you’re a woman who is experiencing HDSS and you’re still relatively young and in a strong relationship then you really need to be proactive about this and take your medication every day as directed. A good, healthy, and robust sex life is important and that’s what you should have. Addyi female Viagra promotes more satisfaction during sex and increased sexual desire. It also reduces the distress that you may feel when you have low libido and feel like you are not being present in that part of the relationship.
Getting healthier fats into your diet (butter instead of margarine etc.) and upping your Zinc levels are other ways to naturally improve libido for women, and another is to get enough sleep and good quality sleep.
