You don't hear that very often.

OK, we have two FDA approved drugs for low libido and premenopausal women.

OK, they work great in postmenopausal women and we use them frequently.

And the data is very clear.

They work in postmenopausal women.

Yeah, I think that paper's coming out soon.

So the two medication is the first one is Addi that came to the market.

And there is an amazing documentary, The Little Pink Pill film, that talks about the whole saga of how hard it was to get a drug for female sexual dysfunction approved in the FDA.

And if you've never heard about it, it is because that's how much we hate talking about women's sexual health and we minimize the need.

For our listeners, if they don't know, let's talk about getting Viagra through the FDA versus getting Addi through the FDA.

There's two drugs for FDA approved for low libido.

So Addi and Flaban, sorry, Addi, which is Flabanserin and Vilisi, which is Bremolinatide.

One is a pill you take every day.

Works like kind of like it works on your brain.

So boost dopamine in your brain.

You take it every night.

Similar to Welbutrin, but the side effects are better.

It kind of gives you a good night's sleep and patients really like it.

And so it takes about, you know, two to three months to know if it's working for you.

My patients say, oh, my God, my sex dreams are back.
