FDA Approval of Addyi, Female Viagra Marketing Campaign
The FDA approved Addyi, a drug marketed as "female Viagra" to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). The hosts criticize the approval, characterizing it as the result of a sophisticated public relations campaign called "Even the Score" rather than sound science. They highlight significant side effects including nausea, sleepiness, and fainting when combined with alcohol.
