O yes! Women's sex patch to hit market
Viagra-popping men soon will meet their match in patch-wearing women.
The latest tool in the battle to rev up listless libidos is a little oval skin patch aimed at boosting a woman's sex drive.
Trial runs of the patch, called Intrinsa, have been so promising that the Food and Drug Administration put it on the fast track to approval yesterday.
"It works," said a 58-year-old Manhattan housewife who participated in a recent study of the Procter & Gamble invention.
The woman said that once she started using the patch, sex with her husband of 29 years went from once a month to twice a week. "He sure is smiling a lot," she said.

This product has been granted a "priority review" by the FDA, which means that there is no other product on the market that meets this medical need.
The data is VERY solid. For those of you that buy stock, the FDA review (and almost certain approval) will probably conclude in mid-December.
My old boss and friend is the project leader on this product. Hoo boy, does she have good quality "anecdotes" from the clinicals.

Thanks a lot, Trav. However, since both of us (me and my husband) have high BP plus both have diabetes and various other ailments, I think it is hopeless for us.
Any other non-political posts WILL be read. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]
