Female Viagra is officially for sale, and this is everything we know

You know you're intrigued.

We're all fairly well versed in the 'little blue pill' that is Viagra for men. I can also safely say we all know what said pill does... right? Anyway, a few years back Addyi came on to the scene, and was described essentially as a female Viagra. However, a few days after the medicine was approved, the company behind the pill was sold. And that was kind of the end of that... until now. The female Viagra is being relaunched in the US, and for a cheaper price. "Our number one objective is ensuring that women have access to this treatment," Cindy Eckert, the person responsible for the re launch, said. Tami Rowen, a Doctor who specialises in sexual health, spoke to Cosmopolitan about the need for this drug.

"There’s this idea that we don’t have a desire for sex the way men do, or if we don't want sex, that’s our natural state of being."

So, what exactly does this pill do? Addyi was created for women who suffer from a regrettable disinterest in sex for no apparent reason. It was NOT designed for those who suffer from depression, or for women who just aren't attracted to their SO anymore. The condition, which affects 10 percent of women in the US, is called hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). HSDD is caused by a hormonal imbalance between dopamine and norepinephrine, and serotonin. You take it every day, much like the contraceptive pill, and BAM, you're ready for action.
