COSTELLO: After years of study and setbacks, the FDA has finally approved a drug to enhance sexual desire in women. Unlike Viagra men which treats a physical condition, this new drugs works a lot differently. CNN's senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen joins us to explain. Good morning.</s>ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Carol. Carol, there's a reason why it took 15 years to come up with a sexual drug or drug to increase sexual desire for women, and the reason, as you said, is it's different for women. Women are much more complex, and what the makers of this drug did is they had to come up with a drug that worked on women's brains. And so what they did is they found a drug that worked on brain chemicals to increase libido.</s>COSTELLO: So -- oh, I thought we lost you for a second. So it works on your brain? There are side effects of this drug, too, aren't there?</s>COHEN: There are. And there's a pretty big group of women, Carol, who are not supposed to take this drug, and that is women who drink alcohol. And here's the reason why. You take this drug all the time. It's not like Viagra where you take it only before sex. And so when women are taking this all the time, they have found that if they drink, it increases the chances they're going to get low blood pressure or even fainting.
