Additionally, FSD patients who were post-menopausal reported much greater improvement in orgasm response than premenstrual women, and 64% of postmenopausal women reported improved ability to achieve orgasm, compared to 44% in premenopausal women. The trial also demonstrated that Eros caused no adverse events. Further clinical trials are underway to investigate the drug as a treatment for FSD in patients with cervical cancer, diabetes and multiple sclerosis, as well as in postmenopausal women.
