Trump said the former secretary of state should be able to do the job herself – and hinted that the famously randy Bill could bring a host of troubles with him if he returns to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

South Carolina Rep.

"I purposely tried to make it as invasive, as intrusive,...

US regulators are expected to decide Tuesday whether to approve a drug nicknamed the "female Viagra," which would be the first pill on the market to raise women's sex drive. In June, an advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration urged regulators to approve the drug, flibanserin, after previously voting against it twice in years past. This time, the experts voted 18-6 in favor of allowing the drug on the market, but with some additional risk-control measures to make sure doctors prescribe it only to patients who need it and that women are aware of the risks. The FDA...

A drug dubbed the ‘female Viagra’ is set to be approved by a US watchdog this week – paving the way for its arrival in the UK. Industry experts claim flibanserin could be given the green light within days, making it the first officially sanctioned drug for low female sex drive on the market. Unlike its male equivalent, the drug combats a flagging libido not by targeting the genitals but the pleasure centre of a woman’s brain, with women who took the pill every day in trials having sex more frequently and enjoying it more.

The first-ever "female viagra" in the world came one step closer to coming to market, as a key advisory committee to the Food and Drug Administration voted Thursday afternoon to recommend that the FDA approve it with conditions. The committee voted 18-6 to recomend that the FDA approve flibanserin, a drug designed to boost otherwise healthy women with low sexual desire. The FDA had twice before rejected the drug, saying the side effect risks of fainting, nausea, dizziness, sleepiness and low-blood pressure outweighed its benefits.

No Viagra! No peace! The Rev. Al Sharpton made a lighthearted admission on Saturday to taking the little blue pill. “They called asking about some pill,” Sharpton said to supporters at the National Action Network in Harlem. “I said ‘Yep, I took Excedrin, too! You got any other dumb questions?’” Sharpton told The News last week he was “unembarrassable.”
