UVa. Tests Viagra-Like Drug for Women

Dec 31 06:04 PM US/Eastern

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - A drug that could do for women what Viagra has done for men is being tested at the University of Virginia. The drug is a testosterone-laden ointment called LibiGel and it's intended to boost the libido of women who have lost interest in sex. It will be prescribed at UVa in coming months to women who are suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder.

The condition is believed to affect one-third of American women.

"It is the most common sexual problem that women have," said Dr. Anita Clayton, a psychiatrist with the UVa Health System and author of the 2007 book "Satisfaction: Women, Sex and the Quest for Intimacy."

UVa joins 99 other medical institutions participating in testing the drug's efficacy and safety.

If given the green light by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Illinois-based BioSante Pharmaceuticals Inc. hopes to offer the drug to any woman complaining of a low sex drive.

I've got a crisp $20 that says 99% of that third are married.

But seriously, of course it's a re-occurring theme with 33% of the women in the nation being afflicted. I, for one, support the cause and efforts of these researchers in treating the symptoms of this horrible disorder. Their cause is a noble one, and I am fully behind it. In fact, does anyone know what color will the ribbons and bracelets be and where can I get one?
