Flibanserin (Addyi), the new female libido pill, is about desire, arousal, and satisfaction. The manufacturer, Sprout Pharmaceuticals (a division of Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America LLC), clearly had desire. They purchased the rights to the drug even after its initial rejection by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and persisted through 2 contentious review cycles. Sprout worked hard to arouse support for the drug, helping create and fund 鈥淓ven the Score,鈥� an advocacy campaign pushing the message that sexism鈥攏ot legitimate scientific questions鈥攎otivated the drug鈥檚 rejection.¹ And within 48 hours of FDA approval, flibanserin was sold to Valeant Pharmaceuticals for about $1 billion in cash.² Very satisfying.
