Flibanserin is a prescription medication designed to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women. It works by modulating neurotransmitters in the brain—primarily serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine—to help increase sexual desire and improve satisfaction.
How to Use: Flibanserin is taken orally, once daily at bedtime. It is not intended for use “as needed” before sexual activity and should be used consistently as prescribed to achieve results.
Dosage: Typically comes in 100 mg tablets. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.
Common Side Effects: Dizziness, nausea, fatigue, insomnia, and dry mouth. Alcohol should be avoided during treatment due to risk of severe hypotension.
Precautions: Flibanserin is not suitable for postmenopausal women or men. It should be avoided in cases of liver impairment or when combined with alcohol or certain medications. Consultation with a healthcare professional is required before starting treatment.
Other Names: Addyi
Flibanserin offers an effective, FDA-approved solution for women with HSDD, helping improve sexual desire, confidence, and intimate satisfaction.
