Episode Transcript

Addyi is the brand name of flibanserin, which was approved earlier this month by the FDA to “treat acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women,” according to an FDA press release. “It’s basically decreased interest in sexual activity or desire, which is a very common problem for premenopausal and postmenopausal women,” Dr. Angela Chaudhari, a Northwestern Medicine gynecologist explained. “I think it affects 40 percent of premenopausal women and 60 percent of postmenopausal women. Unfortunately, it’s a big problem in the country and it’s not frequently addressed.” “Addyi is a serotonin 1A receptor agonist and a serotonin 2A receptor antagonist, but the mechanism by which the drug improves sexual desire and related distress is not known.

Is Lack of Desire all in Our Heads??

It is dosed at bedtime to help decrease the risk of adverse events occurring due to possible hypotension, syncope and central nervous system depression (such as sleepiness and sedation). Patients should discontinue treatment after eight weeks if they do not report an improvement in sexual desire and associated distress.” Chaudhari says, “Looking at the mechanism of the drug is really interesting because we don’t totally understand how sexual response works in women.” That’s because sexual response in women is multifactorial. “Women are affected by chemical levels in the brain, and we think when we have high levels of one chemical, perhaps we can have a decrease in sexual desire versus other chemicals that might improve sexual desire,” she said. In addition, external factors such as mood and relationship issues can affect a woman’s sexual desire. “This is why it makes it so difficult; research around this topic is so limited,” she said. ADDYI is not for use in men or to improve sexual performance.

But then one of my girlfriends told me about Addyi. All I have to say is OMG… I wish I had learned about this sooner!” “Addyi helped me reconnect with my desire in a way I’d been missing for years.” “I used to dread going to bed with my husband because I was never in the mood… he thought it was his fault.
