News coverage has already begun for a newly-named disorder that has a handy acronym for a name and - lo and behold - has a drug ready to treat it.
It's called PGAD or persistent genital arousal disorder and Paxil has been mentioned as a treatment.
Blogger John Mack writes that "GlaxoSmithKline, which makes and markets Paxil, is the same company that brought us Requip for RLS! Coincidence? I think not!" And Mack, in his blog entry headlined, "PGAD. EGAD! Another Syndrome/Disorder, Whatever!" offers a storyboard for the TV drug ad he envisions for Paxil for PGAD.
