Flibanserin: Uses, Dosage, and Side Effects

This “molecular chaperone” can help support hormone signaling pathways (such as those for estrogen and testosterone).23 The research on magnesium and sexual function is sparse, but there is definitely some potential for it to be a beneficial addition. One study on the magnesium levels of men reporting premature ejaculation (PE) found that lower levels were “significantly related” to the condition.24 However, more research is needed on the relationship between magnesium and PE. A separate study on the role magnesium plays in hypertension and cardiovascular disease has information that’s actually more closely related to the potential benefits for female sexual dysfunction than the other study. Researchers note that the mineral mimics the effects of a calcium channel blocker — a drug for lowering blood pressure that allows “blood vessels to relax and open.” This results in increased nitric oxide production and improved blood flow, similar to the amino acids in the VitaFLUX formula.25 26 A study from 2021 found that zinc supplementation for postmenopausal women whose serum zinc levels were low resulted in dramatic improvements in desire for sex and sexual pleasure; vaginal lubrication improved, while pain diminished. This may be due to the resulting increase in testosterone found by the researchers.27 Additionally, one study on zinc and nitric oxide notes that both are heavily involved in the various signal transduction pathways of the body, describing them as “intersecting.”28 As with all treatments, VitaFLUX may not work for everyone or provide the same potential benefits to everyone. If this supplement is right for you and your body, you’ll likely start to see some improvements after around a month or so. If there are no noticeable changes whatsoever after your first bottle is gone (30 days of use), then it may be time to try something else.

Once that’s completed, you should hear back on the approval or denial of your prescription within 24 hours (our tester received a response within an hour). If you’re denied, Wisp will refund your purchase. Cream contains four active ingredients (but only the three medications are listed on the bottle): Ergoloid mesylates (this is misspelled as “Eroloid” on the label) We haven’t listed the concentrations of the ingredients because each bottle of OMG! Cream is compounded according to your needs based on the information you provide to your Wisp doctor. Cream prescription could be similar or very different from the ones our tester received, as pictured above.

About the pre-fulfillment prescription period.

(However, based on customer feedback and our tester’s own prescription, the sildenafil is seemingly prescribed in at least a 1% concentration.) As with many other female arousal products, Wisp’s topical is intended to promote better blood flow to improve vaginal lubrication and increase physical arousal.19 43 Here’s how the OMG! Cream ingredients may be able to help: The research on topical sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, as a topical treatment for arousal concerns in women is only in its infancy, but the results are promising. A small 2020 double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that sildenafil cream led to “clinically significant increases in genital and self-reported measures of arousal compared to placebo cream” in six female patients. It’s worth mentioning that this study specifically used 3.6% sildenafil cream; smaller doses may not have as significant of an effect.9 Ergoloid mesylates, also known as “co-dergocrine mesylate,” is a medication with vasodilatory properties that’s normally used to treat cognitive impairment due to aging, but some older research has investigated it as part of a topical for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED).46 60 In a study from 2001, a cream containing testosterone and two “vasoactive agents” (one of which was co-dergocrine mesylate) performed better than plain testosterone cream in treating ED in older men with “low sexual interest.”47 Ultimately, while the existing data behind these ingredients appears promising, more research is needed to fully understand their potential roles in treatments for female sexual dysfunction (FSD). The viagra sildenafil price chart below breaks down the cost of Wisp’s OMG!

Side effects

Cream as both a one-time purchase and a subscription (charged and shipped every three months). Similar to competitors like Promescent, opting for recurring deliveries from Wisp will reduce your cost per bottle. Competitor Hello Cake offers a similar topical, O-Cream Rx For Her, that’s available in either regular (1% sildenafil) or extra strength (3% sildenafil). For example, a 12-dose order of regular strength O-Cream Rx is $108 — that’s nearly $70 more than a one-time purchase of a 15-dose bottle of OMG! And since the products from both companies contain at least 1% sildenafil, there doesn’t appear to be a dose-dependent reason for this significant price difference. The ingredients in VitaFLUX fall well below established tolerable upper limits, so the product should generally be safe for most healthy adults.

Side effects of amino acids at the doses present in this supplement are more likely to be mild and may include gastrointestinal upset (like nausea and diarrhea).61 However, we always recommend speaking with your doctor before trying a new supplement to make sure it’s a safe choice for you.

Cream contains 15 treatments only if you adhere to Wisp’s instructions to use a pea-sized amount. Using any more or less than the suggested quantity can alter the number of uses you get out of a bottle — and how often you need to reorder. While Wisp’s subscriptions do net you a nice 10-15% discount, we wish the shipping intervals could be modified. Everyone’s situation is unique, and it’s not difficult to imagine someone needing refills of this cream more or less often than every quarter. And though you do have the option to request an early refill or pause your subscription as needed, it would be nice to see the company add some subscription customization options in the future to make the process more convenient from the outset for customers with different needs.

Interactions with other medications

When purchasing from Wisp, your telehealth visit for prescriptions — like OMG! Cream — is included with the medication cost. And if you have an HSA/FSA account, you can either use a card at checkout or download the necessary documents for reimbursement. (Wisp doesn’t accept insurance at this time, but that’s not all that unusual in the telehealth space.) Additionally, shipping is discreet and always free. The list below details some particular instances where VitaFLUX may not be ideal: Taking L-arginine could trigger a herpes flare-up (both HSV-1 and HSV-2).3 L-carnitine can possibly interact with some medications: doxorubicin, thyroid hormones, and blood thinners.4 Due to nitric oxide's vasodilating effects, this product might not be safe for people taking certain medications, such as those for blood pressure.63 Zinc may interact with antibiotics, penicillamine, and thiazide diuretics.29 Although the zinc content is far below the tolerable upper limit for adults (40mg daily), be careful not to over-supplement if you take another supplement containing zinc. Exceeding the upper limit of zinc for an extended period of time is unsafe and could lead to a deficit of copper in your body, among other things.30 Also, individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid taking VitaFLUX.

Promescent used to sell VitaFLUX for Women in both capsule and powder form, but the latter seems to have been discontinued since we last checked in with the company. Unfortunately, this means that those who dislike the idea of taking six capsules daily — or those who simply can’t swallow pills — may need to look elsewhere. This could mean trying topicals, like Wisp’s OMG! Cream, or something like Cake’s Libido Lift Rx, which is a sublingual tablet that dissolves under your tongue.
