Flibanserin Addyi (HSDD) Female Viagra | Ship Mart

Flibanserin, also known by its brand name Addyi, is a medication used to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in women. HSDD is a medical condition characterized by a persistent lack of sexual desire or interest, which causes significant distress or interpersonal difficulty. It is estimated to affect up to 10% of adult women.

Addyi was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2015, making it the first drug of its kind to be approved for the treatment of HSDD in women. It works by targeting neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate sexual desire, specifically by increasing levels of dopamine and norepinephrine while reducing levels of serotonin.

The medication is taken orally, once a day at bedtime, and is only available with a prescription from a healthcare provider. The recommended dosage is 100mg, but treatment may begin at a lower dose of 50mg. It is important to note that Addyi is not intended to enhance sexual performance, and its effects are not immediate - it may take up to 4 weeks of daily use to experience the full benefits.
