Eros Drug

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved a device designed to help women achieve sexual satisfaction, marking the first time that the federal government has licensed an aid for women with sexual dysfunction. In recent years, the market has seen a spate of products--including the blockbuster drug Viagra--aimed at enhancing sexual performance, but the emphasis has been primarily on helping men.
