First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This small study tested whether flibanserin (Addyi), a drug approved for low sexual desire in women, could also help men with low libido. Eight men aged 18–69 with low desire but normal mood and erectile function took either the drug or a placebo for three months. The trial was terminated early, so firm conclusions cannot be drawn.
