Tongue Why the new "female viagra" may be disappointing:

And perhaps dangerous for some women:

And effectiveness rating of 8-13% is not a sterling result.

And this comment is truly stunning and dumbfounding:
Quote:
(And in the alcohol-safety study submitted to the FDA, oddly, 23 of the 25 participants were men, meaning the effects of drinking while on the drug still aren’t fully understood for the women who will be taking it....A highlights-only timeline of the drug’s rocky history looks like this: Flibanserin was originally developed as an antidepressant. After initial trials found it to be ineffective, it was redirected as a remedy for low female desire. The pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim submitted the drug for approval in 2010, though the agency rejected the application, noting that it didn’t seem to work very well for its new purpose, either.
meh meh...
