The drug — administered like an EpiPen — would be used as needed.
For women with low sex drive, the Food and Drug Administration has approved a new EpiPen-like drug that promises to boost libido.
Bremelanotide is said to work to balance out those chemical levels."It's about trying to restore this balance and tipping it in the direction of excitation when a woman wants it," said Dr. Julie Krop, chief medical officer for AMAG Pharmaceuticals.But some sexual health experts argue that a woman's libido is much more than simple brain chemistry.
In company-funded studies of more than 1,200 women identified as having HSDD, about 60 percent said they benefited from the drug, compared to about 35 percent who received a placebo."When you're looking at things like desire, there's no blood test, no CT scan, no way to measure these things other than what's called a patient-reported outcome," Krop said.
