Addyi, marketed as the 'female Viagra,' was approved over a decade ago amid controversy, but it has proven to be only marginally effective with significant side effects. Despite lobbying efforts and expanded indications for older women, the drug's actual benefits are minimal, with only a slight increase in satisfying sexual events, and it remains a poor choice compared to other medications. The article criticizes the drug's approval process and marketing tactics, emphasizing that it is not a safe or effective solution for female sexual desire issues.

An ongoing clinical trial of Sprout Pharmaceuticals' "female Viagra" drug, Addyi, for the treatment of low sexual desire in women has found that it can be used safely and effectively in women with breast cancer. The study, conducted through Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, plans to enroll 43 women and has shown statistically significant improvement in libido and other areas. Sprout Pharmaceuticals was approved by the FDA in 2015 but has yet to prove to be the financial boon expected, leading to the $1 billion sale of the company in 2015.
