How does Addyi work in HSDD?

Addyi is known by the generic name flibanserin and is approved by the FDA to treat acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), or low libido, in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women less than 65 years of age characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and is not due to: a co-existing medical or mental health condition the effects of a medication or other drug substance. HSDD is acquired if you previously had normal sexual desires, and it's generalized when your low libido occurs no matter the sexual activity or partner. In addition, your low libido must also cause marked distress or an interpersonal difficulty. HSDD is the most common type of female sexual dysfunction, affecting roughly 6 million premenopausal women in the U.S. Addyi is classified a non-hormonal, multifunctional serotonin agonist antagonist (MSAA).

What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking sildenafil?

Addyi may work by correcting an imbalance of the brain chemical messengers called dopamine and norepinephrine (both responsible for sexual excitement), while decreasing levels of serotonin (which can lower sex drive). Many of its side effects, like dizziness and drowsiness, are due to its central nervous system action. However, as with many drugs, the exact mechanism is not known. Tell your doctor if you have not seen any results from Addyi after 8 weeks. Yes, the effectiveness of Addyi was demonstrated in several randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled studies in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women under 65 years of age. How is sexual dysfunction in women different from sexual dysfunction in men?

8.2 Lactation

A Boxed Warning regarding combining alcohol and Addyi use is outlined in the prescribing information and Medication Guide for the drug. A Boxed Warning is the FDA's most stringent safety warning. There are also Boxed Warnings regarding use in liver impairment (liver disease) and for certain drug interactions, as explained below. Combining Addyi with alcohol may increase the risk of low blood pressure and fainting (loss of consciousness), which is problematic especially if you are driving, doing hazardous activities, or need clear thinking or reaction times. Women should discontinue drinking alcohol at least two hours before taking Addyi at bedtime (if they've had 1 or 2 standard alcoholic drinks that night), OR Skip the Addyi dose that evening if they have had 3 or more standard alcoholic drinks that night.

What should I do if I miss a dose of sildenafil?

If you skip a dose of Addyi, take your next dose at bedtime the next day. After taking Addyi at bedtime, do not use alcohol until the following day. Do not consume alcohol at least until the morning after taking Addyi at bedtime. One standard alcoholic drink contains 14 grams of pure alcohol and is equivalent to one 12-ounce regular beer, 5-ounces wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits or shot. Related: Can I take Addyi while drinking alcohol? The most common form of sexual dysfunction in males is Erectile Dysfunction (ED), i.e., inability to develop and sustain erection.

Flibanserin for Premenopausal Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder: Pooled Analysis of Clinical Trials. Women with HSDD can perform in bed and even reach orgasms; however their libido, i.e., interest in sex is low or non-existent.

Mechanism of action

Results showed statistically significant improvements in satisfying sexual events, sexual desire and ability to lower distress in premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). An effect with Addyi can be seen as early as 4 weeks, but can vary. Improvements include an increase in satisfying sexual events, an increase in sexual desire, and a decrease in associated distress. Not all women will experience similar improvement in their HSDD. If no results are seen after 8 weeks of talking Addyi, contact your healthcare provider.

What are the most common side effects of sildenafil?

To learn more about the Addyi study results in women under 65 years of age, review: How does Addyi work and is it effective? In general, you may be eligible for Addyi if you are under 65 years of age, you have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and you have low sexual desire no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation, or the sexual partner. If your low sex drive is due to a co-existing medical or psychiatric condition - for example, depression; relationship problems with a significant other (husband, partner); due to side effects of a drug - then Addyi is probably not for you. Take one Addyi tablet by mouth, one time each day at bedtime. Taking Addyi at a time other than bedtime can increase your risk of low blood pressure, fainting (loss of consciousness), accidental injury, and sleepiness. HSDD may be life-long or situational, caused by, for instance, birth and nursing of a child. In 2013, New York Times suggested that up to 30% of otherwise healthy women between the ages of 20 and 60 are affected. Sprout Pharmaceutical and Palatin Technologies, two companies actively developing medications to treat HSDD, report 43% and 12% respectively.

Substance or Food	Effect on Sildenafil Absorption/Action	Recommendations
Alcohol	Can impair erections, increase side effects	Limit or avoid alcohol intake
Fatty Foods	Can delay onset of action	Take on an empty stomach for faster effect
Grapefruit Juice	Increases drug concentration	Avoid to prevent overdose risk
High-fat Meals	Reduce absorption rate	Take at least 1 hour before meals or on an empty stomach

Even at the lower end of the range, it is likely that well over ten million women in the USA alone experience HSDD. Both post- and pre-menopausal women can be affected. How do I know that my partner is affected by HSDD? Hypoactive women describe their symptoms as “declining interest in sex”, “loss of spark”, “always not in the mood”, “lack of passion”, or “being unexcited”, regardless of whom they are with and how long they’ve been together.
