When asked, "What is Addyi?"
Addyi, or flibanserin in its generic form, is a drug licensed by the FDA for the treatment of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) in postmenopausal women. There are around 6 million women in the United States who suffer from this particular form of sexual dysfunction. Addyi is a non-hormonal MSAA, which means it acts by lowering serotonin levels while increasing those of dopamine and norepinephrine, the neurotransmitters responsible for sexual arousal (which can lower sex drive). We still don't understand the specific mechanisms through which these exchanges increase women's sexual desire. Addyi, a medication first intended to treat depression, was given the green light in 2015 to treat HSDD.
Do not refer to Addyi as the "female Viagra." For improved sexual performance, Viagra increases genital blood flow. Addyi alters neurotransmitters in the brain and has no positive effect on libido. Those who have low sex drive because of another medical or mental issue (depression, for example), because of troubles with a significant other (spouse or boyfriend), or because of the negative effects of another medicine are not good candidates for using Addyi. Results may not be seen for up to four weeks, according to patient reports. Nonetheless, complete improvements are often seen eight to twelve weeks after therapy has begun. After this time period, if the patient has not shown signs of improvement, medication should be discontinued.
Addyi comes as 100 mg pink, oval tablets with a "f100" etched on one side; they are made by Sprout Pharmaceuticals. There are 30 tablets in each Addyi bottle. Addyi 100mg should be used once day before night.
Problems Associated with Addyi
It's not uncommon to have symptoms like lightheadedness, nausea, dry mouth, fatigue, and trouble sleeping or staying asleep. Combining it with alcohol or grapefruit increases the danger of passing out. Patients using Addyi should avoid consuming alcohol within a few hours after taking the medication since it might raise the risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting. The suggested daily dose of Addyi is 100mg, taken once per day before bed. To reduce the possibility of harm from hypotension, drowsiness, or fainting, it is crucial to take the tablet as directed, namely, right before bed.
Warning: if you have any of these symptoms after taking flibanserin, get medical attention right once. Swelling of the face, lips, neck, or tongue, difficulty breathing, and hives are only few of the symptoms of an allergic response.
