The partner is physically available not less than 50% of time during a month. * Consent to attempt to have a sexual intercourse at least twice a month, if she has a desire. * Consent to complete a diary every day during the screening period and assessment of the baseline state (in this period diary records must cover ≥80% days), during the therapy and subsequent follow-up. * Consent to use adequate methods of contraception throughout the study.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Satisfying sexual events | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment | Change in the number of satisfying sexual events (SSEs), standardized to the 28-day period, after 4 weeks of treatment, compared with the baseline. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Satisfying sexual events | Baseline and 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the number of satisfying sexual events (SSEs), standardized to the 28-day period, after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. |
| Orgasms | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the number of orgasms, standardized to the 28-day period, after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. |
| Female Sexual Function Index total score | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) total score after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. FSFI total score ranges from 2.0 to 36.0, where higher score represents better sexual function. FSFI total score is a sum of FSFI individual domains scores (individual domains are: Desire, Arousal, Lubrication, Orgasm, Satisfaction, and Pain). |
| Female Sexual Function Index Desire domain score | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Desire domain score after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. FSFI Desire domain score ranges from 1.2 to 6.0, where higher score represents better sexual desire. |
| Female Sexual Function Index Arousal domain score | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Arousal domain score after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. FSFI Arousal domain score ranges from 0 to 6.0, where higher score represents better sexual arousal. |
| Female Sexual Function Index Lubrication domain score | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Lubrication domain score after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. FSFI Lubrication domain score ranges from 0 to 6.0, where higher score represents better vaginal lubrication. |
| Female Sexual Function Index Orgasm domain score | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Orgasm domain score after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. FSFI Orgasm domain score ranges from 0 to 6.0, where higher score represents better orgasm sensation. |
| Female Sexual Function Index Satisfaction domain score | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Satisfaction domain score after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. FSFI Satisfaction domain score ranges from 0.8 to 6.0, where higher score represents better sexual satisfaction. |
| Female Sexual Function Index Pain domain score | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Pain domain score after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. FSFI Pain domain score ranges from 0 to 6.0, where higher score represents lower pain sensation during sexual intercourse. |
| Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised Total score | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised (FSDS-R) total score after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. FSDS-R total score ranges from 0 to 52, where higher score represents higher level of distress related to sexual activities. A score of ≥11 discriminates between women with female sexual disfunction (score of ≥11) and no female sexual disfunction (score of \<11). |
| Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised Item 13 score | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised (FSDS-R) Item 13 score after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. FSDS-R Item 13 score ranges from 0 to 4, where higher score represents higher level of bother by low sexual desire. |
| Sexual function according to the Female Sexual Function questionnaire | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | Change in the Female Sexual Function questionnaire (FSF) score after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. FSF score ranges from 0 to 36, where higher score represents better sexual function. |
| Patient's assessment of efficacy of the therapy according to the Patient Global Impression of Improvement | Baseline and 4 weeks of treatment, 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up | The patient's assessment of efficacy of the therapy according to the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) after 4 weeks of therapy and after 4 and 8 weeks of follow-up, compared with the baseline. |
| Number of adverse events | During 12 weeks after start of treatment (4 weeks of treatment and 8 weeks of follow-up) | Frequency of adverse events reporting, including serious adverse events, in treatment groups. |
