A Phase II trial is underway for Tefina, a testosterone-based treatment for female sexual dysfunction. Nicknamed “the female Viagra,” the drug is administered via a nasal spray two hours before sexual activity, and is believed to increase desire and stimulate blood flow to the sexual organs, making it appropriate for both women with low desire as well as women with difficulty climaxing.
