The Pink Pill for Women’s Desire: Why Addyi Took 10x Longer Than Viagra | Cindy Eckert & J. Bristow

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we explore the politics, science, and cultural debate surrounding women’s sexual desire and the development of the first FDA-approved medication for low libido. Joined by Julie Bristow, executive producer of the documentary The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs, and Who Has Control, and Cindy Eckert, founder of Sprout Pharmaceuticals, we unpack the long road to bringing Addyi to market and what the fight for a “female Viagra” reveals about gender bias in medicine, sexual autonomy, and whose health needs are prioritized.

The First FDA-Approved Treatment for Low Female Desire •Addyi vs Viagra: Why the “Pink Pill” Took 17 Years to Approve •Cultural Bias in Medicine: Why Women’s Sexual Health Was Dismissed •Why This Story Matters Now: The Documentary The Pink Pill •Feminism, Pharma & Politics: Navigating a Controversial Topic •Understanding HSDD: Biology vs Context in Low Sexual Desire •Can a Medication Empower Women’s Sexual Autonomy? •Who Really Has Control?
