Default New FDA approved drugs?

What are some interesting, new FDA-approved drugs to talk about? New meaning within the past 6 months or so.

The ones I can think of:
- Vimpat (lacosamide) for epilepsy
- Savella (milnacipran) for fibromyalgia
- Nucynta (tapentadol) for pain
- Nplate (whatever its generic name) for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
- Uloric (febuxostat) for gout

I am surprized that I could name five. I must not be that hopeless yet.

Really, the last drug that made the public go "You can do THAT with a pill?!?!" was Viagra. I want to know when the next Viagra is coming out. The drug that makes the layman excited.
