Laura1981 posted a topic in Events, actions, controversies

I can't believe this, but the FDA has approved an antidepressant as "Viagra for Women". We may have a tide of women showing up on this site in not to far future. *shudder* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flibanserin "Flibanserin (code name BIMT-17), proposed trade name Girosa and Addyi, is a drug being studied as a non-hormonal treatment for pre-menopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD)." "Flibanserin is a 5-HT1A receptor agonist and 5-HT2A receptor antagonist that had initially been investigated as an antidepressant.[15][16] Preclinical evidence suggested that flibanserin targets these receptors preferentially in selective brain areas and helps to restore a balance between these inhibitory and excitatory effects.[12]" "On June 4, 2015, the panel to the FDA recommended approval of the drug by 18–6."
