We've all thought about it, dreamt about it, never actually envisioned this day would come... but it has. The Little Pink Pill or Viagra for women might be just around the corner. On June 18 the FDA will be deciding whether or not to approve the new drug that is supposed to increase a woman's libido and possibly revolutionize sex, it's called Flibanserin. That's Fli-ban-se-rin. Makes you feel sexy doesn't it? The wonder pill is supposed to increase a woman's desire, including satisfaction with sex.

Scientists found that flibanserin, developed as an antidepressant, was ineffective for treatment of depression. But the drug appeared to produce an unexpected side effect: boosting women's libido. That prompted the company to study it for hypoactive sexual desire disorder, or HSDD, an otherwise unexplained loss of sexual thoughts, fantasies and desire that can cause significant emotional distress. Some research suggests 10 percent of women may suffer from HSDD. The company has sponsored studies involving more than 5,000 premenopausal women ages 18 to 50 in the United States, Canada and Europe in whom HSDD had been diagnosed. A 100-milligram daily dosage increased the number of satisfying sexual experiences that women had reported from the previous month -- a key benchmark the FDA has set for such drugs -- from an average of 2.7 to 4.5, compared with 3.7 among those taking a placebo.
