The female Viagra?
A once-daily pill developed by Germany’s Boehringer Ingelheim increased female sex drive in late-stage trials, putting the group in the frame to launch the first non-hormonal treatment for women with low libido. The compound known as flibanserin promoted sexual desire and increased the number of “satisfying sexual events” in women suffering from abnormally low libido, Boehringer said on Monday. The results of four Phase III studies involving more than 2,000 pre-menopausal woman suffering from so-called Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) were presented at the congress of the European Society for Sexual Medicine in Lyon, France. – From Reuters
