COMPOUNDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF FEMALE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION

摘要

A method of treating a female suffering from femal sexual dysfunction (FSD), in particular femal sexual arousal dysfunction (FSAD), is described. The method comprises delivering to the female an agent that is capable of potentiating cAMP in the sexual genitalia; wherein the agent is in an amount to cause potentiation of cAMP in the sexual genitalia of the female. The agent may be admixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient. Said agent is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor wherein said PDE is a cAMP hydrolysing PDE (and optionally cGMP hydroysing).
