flag FDA approves Addyi for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.

flag The U.S. FDA has expanded approval of Addyi, a daily pill for low sexual desire in women, to include postmenopausal women up to age 65. flag Originally approved in 2015 for premenopausal women, the drug has faced scrutiny over modest effectiveness and side effects like dizziness and nausea, along with a boxed warning about dangerous blood pressure drops when combined with alcohol. flag The approval follows years of advocacy and research, marking a significant step in addressing female sexual health, though the medical community remains divided on whether low libido should be classified as a medical condition. flag A second treatment for low female libido was approved in 2019.
