Ospemifene is a drug used to treat moderate to severe dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse) in postmenopausal women. It is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that works by increasing the amount of estrogen in the vagina, which helps to reduce pain and improve vaginal lubrication. Ospemifene is also used to treat vaginal atrophy, a condition caused by low estrogen levels that can lead to dryness, itching, and burning in the vagina. Ospemifene is a relatively new drug, having been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2013. It is available in both oral and topical forms, and is generally well-tolerated with few side effects. The ospemifene market is part of the larger sexual and reproductive health drugs market, which includes drugs used to treat a variety of conditions related to sexual and reproductive health. These drugs are used to treat conditions such as infertility, endometriosis, and menopause. Some companies in the ospemifene market include Allergan, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Mylan.
