We all know and often cringe at Viagra and Cialis commercials… will there soon be commercials like these targeting women?
In an 18-6 vote, an advisory panel for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expressed its support for a female viagra, which (as the name suggests) would help combat female sexual dysfunction and increase sex drive. This drug is the first of its kind.
Women (and men) everywhere are rejoicing over the development, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about this drug.
Even though there is still much to be done before Addyi is available to the public, women from the trials hailed the drug for its considerable benefits.
“I am one of the lucky 11,000 women that was a patient on the flibanserin clinical trial,” said Amanda Parrish, who said she lost desire for sex with her husband, and their marriage had suffered. “What a relationship-saving eight months that was. As if the light switch had been turned on, so was I.”
