Now, I must admit I found this funny, and typical. In brief, the male libido is simple and easy to stimulate. The female libido? Complex and sophisticated. No one-pill wonder for us. It’s a little bit more complicated. Time Magazine reports:
This Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will hear from an expert panel about the merits of, flibanserin, a drug that has been touted as potentially being the female equivalent of Viagra. Yet, an initial FDA review posted online today already indicates that Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of flibanserin, may have trouble getting agency approval. According to Reuters, the FDA review of two flibanserin studies found the drug’s impact to be only “moderate,” and noted that it fell short on what was considered its primary function — increasing women’s overall sexual desire.
