In women.

Exactly.

Right. Well, in some cases, if their testosterone is low, testosterone would be perfect. Testosterone. But it's not indicated for us. There are no products for it. So... Well, Addi. Yeah. We just got approved. Yes. No, there's a couple of products that are used for that, but there's no testosterone products. Exactly. Right? So listen, Addi is a non-hormonal treatment.

The medicine is called flabanserin. The data are actually very strong. It is FDA approved for that. Right? Mm-hmm. For a woman who is postmenopausal and has basically her gas tank for a couple of those sexual hormones is at zero, testosterone can help. Some women who are pre- or perimenopausal may have low levels of testosterone. They can benefit from it too.

And women's symptoms are often very similar to men's. They have fatigue that isn't sort of normally explained by activities, right? It's out of proportion fatigue. They don't feel right. Their energy, their zip is gone. Libido may be down. And testosterone works for them, just like it works for men. There are differences between men and women, but we have a lot that's so similar.

Easier to get, easier to... So I mentioned that institutional medicine or academic medicine has this weird, I think, unhealthy... They bow down to the FDA as if the FDA is some arbiter of something.

It's not to regulate how medicine works. And yet, there are too many people within the medical community who say, well, if the FDA doesn't list it as an indication, I shouldn't use it. Our studies are just as with or without an FDA approved indication.
