Flibanserin and Alcohol: No Additional Adverse Events
In a recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study, women who drank alcohol while taking flibanserin did not experience additional adverse events.
Flibanserin is an oral medication intended for premenopausal women with acquired generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).
The alcohol-interaction study included 96 premenopausal women who took various combinations of flibanserin, a placebo, and ethanol.
The researchers determined that ethanol "did not have an additive effect on the [adverse event] profile of flibanserin."
However, they noted that their study protocol was not a "real-world" scenario, as the participants took flibanserin in the morning, in contrast to the recommended bedtime dosing.
