It will be interesting to see if this drug is covered by insurance since many plans cover viagra but not the pill.

Shrews and monkeys? There's a joke there - who can make it?

The trickle-down from the primary literature to the popular press is excruciating...

Say what you will about the outrageously sexist implications of developing such a drug (Erica?), but you have to admit that whoever came up with the idea of a combination diet-pill/libido booster is a marketing genius. It's as if the editorial board at Cosmopolitan had its own pharmaceutical research arm.

flamingbanjo: it's not that simple... drug companies don't just say "we want to develop a drug that ups libido, lowers appetite!" when drugs with brand new functions are developed, their process goes something like:

1) find a chemical that hasn't been tested well
2) jam test animals full of that chemical
3) see what happens

in this case it's a form of GnRH, a very common and well known human/animal hormone that it sounds like scientists just hadn't stuffed animals full of yet to see what happens.

I just need to stop taking my birth control for THAT.

Maybe if we developed male birth control we could shift the hormone imbalance, huh?
