How about a pill to increase a woman's sex drive?

But the side effects are dizziness, nausea and fatigue! Do take into account that a nausea pill would be helpful for weight loss.

“This is really a classic case of disease branding,” said Dr. Adriane Fugh-Berman, an associate professor at Georgetown University’s medical school who researches drug marketing and has studied the campaign. “The messages are aimed at medicalizing normal conditions, and also preying on the insecurity of both the clinician and the patient.”
