Osphena: The Latest Viagra-Esque Drug For Women

Introducing Osphena, the prescription drug developed by Shionogi Inc. and QuatRx. which aims to help menopausal women who experience pain during sex to, um, enjoy intercourse again. Essentially it's another form of viagra for women.

"If you haven't already noticed, menopause comes with a few surprises," reads Osphena's website. "You may have expected the hot flashes and a few sleepless nights but, due to menopause, you probably didn't expect vaginal changes that can cause sex to become painful."

Just take a look at the add for yourself...
