🩺 Clinical
Flibanserin is used to treat certain women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD; low sexual desire that causes distress or is troubling). Flibanserin should not be used for the treatment of HSDD in men or to improve sexual performance. Flibanserin is in a class of medications called a serotonin receptor 1A agonist/serotonin receptor 2A antagonist. It works by changing the activity of serotonin and other natural substances in the brain.

⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Recommended dosage is 100 mg taken once daily at bedtime (2.1) • ADDYI is dosed at bedtime because administration during waking hours increases risks of hypotension, syncope, accidental injury, and central nervous system (CNS) depression (2.1) • Discontinue ADDYI treatment after 8 weeks if no improvement (2.3)
2.1Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of ADDYI is 100 mg administered orally once per day at bedtime. ADDYI is dosed at bedtime because administration during waking hours increases the risks of hypotension, syncope, accidental injury, and central nervous system (CNS) depression (such as somnolence and sedation) .
2.2Missed Dose If a dose of ADDYI is missed at bedtime, instruct the patient to take the next dose at bedtime on the next day. Instruct the patient to not double the next dose.
2.3Discontinuation of ADDYI Discontinue ADDYI after 8 weeks if the patient does not report an improvement in her HSDD symptoms.
2.4Initiation of ADDYI Following Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitor Use If initiating ADDYI following moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor use, start ADDYI 2 weeks after the last dose of the CYP3A4 inhibitor. If initiating a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor following ADDYI use, start the moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor 2 days after the last dose of ADDYI [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ].
2.1Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of ADDYI is 100 mg administered orally once per day at bedtime. ADDYI is dosed at bedtime because administration during waking hours increases the risks of hypotension, syncope, accidental injury, and central nervous system (CNS) depression (such as somnolence and sedation) .

💊 Dosage Forms and Strengths ▾
3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS Tablets: 100 mg, oval, pink, debossed on one side with "f100" and blank on the other side. Tablets: 100 mg (3)
⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS ADDYI is contraindicated in patients: • Using concomitant moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . • With hepatic impairment [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . • With known hypersensitivity to ADDYI or any of its components. Reactions, including anaphylaxis, reactions consistent with angioedema (e.g., swelling of the face, lips, and mouth), pruritus, and urticaria have been reported [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . • Moderate or strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors (4, 5.2) • Hepatic impairment (4, 5.5) • Known hypersensitivity to ADDYI or its components ( 4 , 5.6 , 6.2 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hypotension and Syncope due to an Interaction with Alcohol : After taking ADDYI at bedtime, advise patients to avoid alcohol until the following day. (5.1) • Central Nervous System (CNS) Depression (e.g., Somnolence, Sedation) : Can occur with ADDYI alone. Exacerbated by other CNS depressants, and in settings where flibanserin concentrations are increased.
Patients should avoid activities requiring full alertness (e.g., driving or operating machinery) until at least six hours after each dose and until they know how ADDYI affects them. (5.3) • Hypotension and Syncope with ADDYI Alone : Patients with pre-syncope should immediately lie supine and promptly seek medical help if symptoms do not resolve. (5.4) • Hypersensitivity Reactions, including anaphylaxis, angioedema, pruritus, urticaria : Avoid in women with known hypersensitivity to ADDYI or any of its components ( 5.6 )
5.1Hypotension and Syncope due to an Interaction with Alcohol Taking ADDYI within two hours after consuming alcohol increases the risk of severe hypotension and syncope. To reduce this risk, counsel patients to wait at least two hours after drinking one or two standard alcoholic drinks before taking ADDYI at bedtime [see Boxed Warning and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Patients who drink three or more standard alcoholic drinks should skip their ADDYI dose that evening.
One standard alcoholic drink contains 14 grams of pure alcohol and is equivalent to one 12-ounce regular beer (5% alcohol), 5-ounces wine (12% alcohol), or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits/shot (40% alcohol). After taking ADDYI at bedtime, advise patients to not use alcohol until the following day.
5.2Hypotension and Syncope with CYP3A4 Inhibitors Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors The concomitant use of ADDYI with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors significantly increases flibanserin concentrations, which can lead to hypotension and syncope [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. The concomitant use of ADDYI with a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is contraindicated. If the patient requires a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, discontinue ADDYI at least 2 days prior to starting the moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor.
In cases where the benefit of initiating a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor within 2 days of stopping ADDYI clearly outweighs the risk of flibanserin exposure related hypotension and syncope, monitor the patient for signs of hypotension and syncope. Discontinue the moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor for 2 weeks before restarting ADDYI [see Drug Interactions (7) ]. Multiple Concomitant Weak CYP3A4 Inhibitors Concomitant use of multiple weak CYP3A4 inhibitors that may include herbal supplements (e.g., ginkgo, resveratrol) or non-prescription drugs (e.g., cimetidine) could also lead to clinically relevant increases in flibanserin concentrations that may increase the risk of hypotension and syncope [see Drug Interactions (7) ] .
5.3Central Nervous System Depression ADDYI can cause CNS depression (e.g., somnolence, sedation). In five 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trials of premenopausal women with HSDD, the incidence of somnolence, sedation or fatigue was 21% and 8% in patients treated with 100 mg ADDYI once daily at bedtime and placebo, respectively [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . In two similarly designed trials in naturally postmenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD, the incidence of somnolence, sedation or fatigue was 10% and 6% in patients less than 65 years of age treated with 100 mg ADDYI once daily at bedtime and placebo, respectively.
The risk of CNS depression is increased if ADDYI is taken during waking hours, or if ADDYI is taken with alcohol or other CNS depressants, or with medications that increase flibanserin concentrations, such as CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.2), Adverse Reactions (6.1) , and Drug Interactions (7) ].

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The approved 100 mg ADDYI dosage at bedtime was administered to 2,997 premenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD in clinical trials, of whom 1,672 received treatment for at least 6 months, 850 received treatment for at least 12 months, and 88 received treatment for at least 18 months [see Clinical Studies (14) ].
In clinical trials, ADDYI 100 mg once daily at bedtime was administered to 801 postmenopausal women less than 65 years of age with acquired, generalized HSDD, of whom 460 received ADDYI treatment for at least 6 months, and 23 received ADDYI treatment for longer than 6 months. Premenopausal Women The data presented below in Table 1 and Table 2 (left columns) are derived from five 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in premenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD. In these trials, the frequency and quantity of alcohol use was not recorded.
Three of these trials (Studies 1, 2, and 3) also provided efficacy data [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. One trial (Study 5) did not evaluate the 100 mg bedtime dose. In four trials in premenopausal women (Studies 1 through 4), 100 mg ADDYI at bedtime was administered to 1543 premenopausal women with HSDD, of whom 1060 completed 24 weeks of treatment.
The age range of women enrolled was 18-56 years old with a mean age of 36 years old, and 88% were Caucasian and 9% were Black. In Studies 1 through 4 in premenopausal women, serious adverse reactions were reported in 0.9% and 0.5% of ADDYI-treated patients and placebo-treated patients, respectively. Postmenopausal Women The data presented below in Table 1 and Table 2 (right columns) are derived from two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials intended to be of 24-week duration in naturally postmenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD (Studies 6 and 7).
One trial (Study 7) was discontinued prematurely. In these trials, 100 mg ADDYI at bedtime was administered to 801 postmenopausal women less than 65 years of age with HSDD, of whom 460 completed 24 weeks of treatment. The age range of women enrolled was 34-80 years old with a mean age of 56 years old, and 91% were Caucasian, 7% were Black and 94% were less than 65 years of age.
The clinical trial population had no significant comorbid medical conditions and were not taking concomitant medications. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 1.5% and 0.7% of ADDYI-treated patients and placebo-treated patients less than 65 years of age, respectively. Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation Table 1 displays the most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation in six trials of women less than 65 years of age with HSDD that evaluated the ADDYI 100 mg once daily at bedtime dosage by population studied.
Table 1 Adverse Reactions Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of > 1% of patients who received ADDYI 100 mg once daily at bedtime and at a higher incidence than placebo-treated patients in the pooled premenopausal women and postmenopausal women trials.

🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Table 3 contains clinically significant drug interactions (DI) with ADDYI. Table 3 Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with ADDYI Alcohol Clinical Implications The coadministration of ADDYI with alcohol increased the risk of hypotension, syncope, and CNS depression compared to the use of ADDYI alone or alcohol alone [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. Preventing or Managing DI Counsel patients to wait at least two hours after consuming one or two standard alcoholic drinks before taking ADDYI at bedtime or to skip their ADDYI dose if they have consumed three or more alcoholic drinks that evening. [see Boxed Warning , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .
Other CNS Depressants Examples Diphenhydramine, opioids, hypnotics, benzodiazepines Clinical Implications The concomitant use of ADDYI with CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression (e.g., somnolence) compared to the use of ADDYI alone. Preventing or Managing DI Discuss the concomitant use of other CNS depressants with the patient when prescribing ADDYI. Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Examples of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors Ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, clarithromycin, nefazodone, ritonavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir, telithromycin and conivaptan Examples of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors Amprenavir, atazanavir, ciprofloxacin, diltiazem, erythromycin, fluconazole, fosamprenavir, verapamil, and grapefruit juice Clinical Implications The concomitant use of ADDYI with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increases flibanserin exposure compared to the use of ADDYI alone.
The risk of hypotension and syncope is increased with concomitant use of ADDYI and moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) , and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Preventing or Managing DI The concomitant use of ADDYI with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is contraindicated . Weak CYP3A4 Inhibitors Examples Oral contraceptives, cimetidine, fluoxetine, ginkgo, ranitidine Clinical Implications The concomitant use of ADDYI with multiple weak CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the risk of adverse reactions.
Preventing or Managing DI Discuss the use of multiple weak CYP3A4 inhibitors with the patient when prescribing ADDYI. Strong CYP2C19 Inhibitors Examples Proton pump inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, benzodiazepines, antifungals Clinical Implications The concomitant use of ADDYI with strong CYP2C19 inhibitors may increase flibanserin exposure which may increase the risk of hypotension, syncope, and CNS depression. Preventing or Managing DI Discuss the use of a strong CYP2C19 inhibitor with the patient when prescribing ADDYI.
CYP3A4 Inducers Examples Carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifabutin, rifampin, rifapetine, St. John's Wort Clinical Implications The concomitant use of ADDYI with CYP3A4 inducers substantially decreases flibanserin exposure compared to the use of ADDYI alone. Preventing or Managing DI The concomitant use of ADDYI with CYP3A4 inducers is not recommended.
Digoxin or Other P-glycoprotein Substrates Examples Digoxin, sirolimus Clinical Implications The concomitant use of ADDYI with digoxin, a drug that is transported by P-glycoprotein (P-gp), increases the digoxin concentration [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . This may lead to digoxin toxicity. Preventing or Managing DI Increase monitoring of concentrations of drugs transported by P-gp that have a narrow therapeutic index (e.g., digoxin). • Oral Contraceptives and Other Weak CYP3A4 Inhibitors : Increases flibanserin exposures and incidence of adverse reactions (6.1, 7) • Strong CYP2C19 Inhibitors : Increases flibanserin exposure which may increase risk of hypotension, syncope, and CNS depression (7) • CYP3A4 Inducers : Use of ADDYI not recommended; flibanserin concentrations substantially reduced (7) • Digoxin : Increase…
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Nursing Mothers : ADDYI is not recommended. (8.2) • CYP2C19 Poor Metabolizers : Increases flibanserin exposure which may increase risk of hypotension, syncope, and CNS depression (8.7)
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no studies of ADDYI in pregnant women to inform whether there is a drug-associated risk in humans. In animals, fetal toxicity only occurred in the presence of significant maternal toxicity including reductions in weight gain and sedation. In pregnant rats and rabbits, adverse reproductive and developmental effects consisted of decreased fetal weight, structural anomalies and increases in fetal loss at exposures greater than 15 times exposures achieved with the recommended human dosage [see Data ] .
Animal studies cannot rule out the potential for fetal harm. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Pregnant rats were administered flibanserin at doses of 0, 20, 80 and 400 mg/kg/day (3, 15 and 41 times clinical exposures at the recommended human dose based on AUC) during organogenesis. The highest dose was associated with significant maternal toxicity as evidenced by severe clinical signs and marked reductions in weight gain during dosing.
In the litters of high-dose dams, there were decreased fetal weights, decreased ossification of the forelimbs and increased number of lumbar ribs, and two fetuses with anophthalmia secondary to severe maternal toxicity. The no adverse effect level for embryofetal toxicity was 80 mg/kg/day (15 times clinical exposure based on AUC). Pregnant rabbits were administered flibanserin at doses of 0, 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg/day (4, 8 and 16 times the clinical exposure at the recommended human dose) during organogenesis.
Marked decreases in maternal body weight gain (>75%), abortion and complete litter resorption were observed at 40 and 80 mg/kg/day indicating significant maternal toxicity at these doses. Increases in resorptions and decreased fetal weights were observed at ≥ 40 mg/kg/day. No treatment-related teratogenic effects were observed in fetuses at any dose level.
The no adverse effect level for maternal and embryofetal effects was 20 mg/kg/day (3-4 times clinical exposure based on AUC). Pregnant rats were administered flibanserin at doses of 0, 20, 80 and 200 mg/kg/day (3, 15 and ~ 20 times clinical exposures at the recommended human dose) from day 6 of pregnancy until day 21 of lactation to assess for effects on peri- and postnatal development. The highest dose was associated with clinical signs of toxicity in pregnant and lactating rats.
All doses resulted in sedation and decreases in body weight gain during pregnancy. Flibanserin prolonged gestation in some dams in all dose groups and decreased implantations, number of fetuses and fetal weights at 200 mg/kg/day. Dosing dams with 200 mg/kg also decreased pup weight gain and viability during the lactation period and delayed opening of the vagina and auditory canals.
Flibanserin had no effects on learning, reflexes, fertility or reproductive capacity of the F1 generation. The no adverse effect level for maternal toxicity and peri/postnatal effects was 20 mg/kg/day [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ].
8.2Lactation Risk Summary Flibanserin is excreted in rat milk. It is unknown whether flibanserin is present in human milk, whether ADDYI has effects on the breastfed infant, or whether ADDYI affects milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions including sedation in a breastfed infant, ADDYI is not recommended in breastfeeding women.

In animals, fetal toxicity only occurred in the presence of significant maternal toxicity including reductions in weight gain and sedation. In pregnant rats and rabbits, adverse reproductive and developmental effects consisted of decreased fetal weight, structural anomalies and increases in fetal loss at exposures greater than 15 times exposures achieved with the recommended human dosage [see Data ] .
Animal studies cannot rule out the potential for fetal harm. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Pregnant rats were administered flibanserin at doses of 0, 20, 80 and 400 mg/kg/day (3, 15 and 41 times clinical exposures at the recommended human dose based on AUC) during organogenesis. The highest dose was associated with significant maternal toxicity as evidenced by severe clinical signs and marked reductions in weight gain during dosing.
In the litters of high-dose dams, there were decreased fetal weights, decreased ossification of the forelimbs and increased number of lumbar ribs, and two fetuses with anophthalmia secondary to severe maternal toxicity. The no adverse effect level for embryofetal toxicity was 80 mg/kg/day (15 times clinical exposure based on AUC). Pregnant rabbits were administered flibanserin at doses of 0, 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg/day (4, 8 and 16 times the clinical exposure at the recommended human dose) during organogenesis.
Marked decreases in maternal body weight gain (>75%), abortion and complete litter resorption were observed at 40 and 80 mg/kg/day indicating significant maternal toxicity at these doses. Increases in resorptions and decreased fetal weights were observed at ≥ 40 mg/kg/day. No treatment-related teratogenic effects were observed in fetuses at any dose level.
The no adverse effect level for maternal and embryofetal effects was 20 mg/kg/day (3-4 times clinical exposure based on AUC). Pregnant rats were administered flibanserin at doses of 0, 20, 80 and 200 mg/kg/day (3, 15 and ~ 20 times clinical exposures at the recommended human dose) from day 6 of pregnancy until day 21 of lactation to assess for effects on peri- and postnatal development. The highest dose was associated with clinical signs of toxicity in pregnant and lactating rats.
All doses resulted in sedation and decreases in body weight gain during pregnancy. Flibanserin prolonged gestation in some dams in all dose groups and decreased implantations, number of fetuses and fetal weights at 200 mg/kg/day. Dosing dams with 200 mg/kg also decreased pup weight gain and viability during the lactation period and delayed opening of the vagina and auditory canals.
Flibanserin had no effects on learning, reflexes, fertility or reproductive capacity of the F1 generation. The no adverse effect level for maternal toxicity and peri/postnatal effects was 20 mg/kg/day [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ].

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action The mechanism of action of ADDYI in the treatment of women less than 65 years of age with acquired, generalized HSDD as characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty (not due a co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, problems within the relationship, or the effects of a medication or other drug substance) is not known.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Receptor Binding: In vitro, flibanserin demonstrated high affinity for the following serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) receptors: agonist activity at 5-HT 1A and antagonist activity at 5-HT 2A . Flibanserin also has moderate antagonist activities at the 5-HT 2B , 5-HT 2C , and dopamine D 4 receptors. Alcohol Interaction See Clinical Trials Experience (6.1) Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of ADDYI on the QT interval was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active- (single dose moxifloxacin) controlled crossover study in 56 healthy men and women.
Subjects in the ADDYI groups received either 50 mg twice a day (equivalent to the daily recommended dosage) or 100 mg three times a day (3 times the daily recommended dosage) administered for 5 days. The time frame for electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements covered maximum plasma concentrations of flibanserin and relevant metabolites. In this study, ADDYI did not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.
The mean increase in heart rate associated with the 100 mg three times a day dose of ADDYI compared to placebo ranged from 1.7 to 3.2 beats per minute.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Flibanserin showed dose-proportional pharmacokinetics for Cmax after single oral doses of 100 mg to 250 mg (the recommended and 2.5 times the recommended dosage, respectively) in healthy female subjects. Steady state was achieved after 3 days of dosing. The extent of exposure (AUC 0-∞ ) with once-daily dosing of 100 mg of flibanserin was increased 1.4-fold as compared to a single dose.
Figure 1 Mean + SD Plasma Flibanserin Concentration-Time Profiles in Healthy Female Subjects Following a Single Oral Dose of 100 mg of Flibanserin (Linear Scale) Absorption Following oral administration of a single 100 mg dose of flibanserin in healthy premenopausal women (N=8), mean (SD) Cmax was 419 (206) ng/mL and mean (SD) AUC 0-inf was 1543 (511) ng*hr/mL. Median (range) time to reach Cmax was 0.75 (0.75 to 4.0) hours. Absolute bioavailability of flibanserin following oral dosing is 33%.
Effect of Food Food increased the extent of absorption and slowed the rate of absorption of a 50 mg dose of flibanserin (one half the recommended dosage). Low-, moderate-, and high-fat meals increased flibanserin AUC 0-inf by 1.18-, 1.43-, and 1.56-fold; increased Cmax by 1.02-, 1.13-, and 1.15-fold; and prolonged median Tmax to 1.5, 0.9, 1.8 hours from 0.8 hours under fasted conditions, respectively. Distribution Approximately 98% of flibanserin is bound to human serum proteins, mainly to albumin.
Elimination Metabolism Flibanserin is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and, to a lesser extent, by CYP2C19. Based on in vitro and/or in vivo data, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2D6 contribute minimally to the metabolism of flibanserin. After a single oral solution dose of 50 mg 14 C-radiolabeled flibanserin, 44% of the total 14 C-flibanserin related radioactivity was recovered in urine, and 51% was recovered in feces.
Flibanserin is extensively metabolized to at least 35 metabolites, most of them occurring in low concentrations in plasma. Two metabolites could be characterized that showed plasma concentrations similar to that achieved with flibanserin: 6,21-dihydroxy-flibanserin-6,21-disulfate and 6-hydroxy-flibanserin-6-sulfate. These two metabolites are inactive.
Excretion Flibanserin has a mean terminal half-life of approximately 11 hours. Specific Populations Hepatic Impairment Single 50 mg oral doses of flibanserin were administered to 10 patients with mild hepa…

💬 Information for Patients ▾
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide). Hypotension and Syncope Inform patients that ADDYI can cause severe hypotension and syncope, particularly when taken close in time with alcoholic drinks or with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. • Counsel patients to wait at least two hours after consuming one or two standard alcoholic drinks before taking ADDYI at bedtime or to skip their ADDYI dose if they have consumed 3 or more standard alcoholic drinks that evening.
After taking ADDYI at bedtime, advise patients to not use alcohol until the following day. • Advise patients that moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors are contraindicated with ADDYI and to ask patients to report the use of a new prescription or non-prescription medication or other products that contain CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., grapefruit juice, St. John’s Wort). • Advise patients who experience pre-syncope or lightheadedness to lie down and to call for help if symptoms persist [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2) ].
CNS Depression Advise patients that ADDYI can cause CNS depression, such as somnolence and sedation, and that the risk is increased with other CNS depressants and with certain drug interactions (e.g., hypnotics, benzodiazepines, opioids). The risk is also increased if ADDYI is taken during waking hours. Advise patients to avoid activities requiring full alertness (e.g., driving or operating machinery) until at least 6 hours after the ADDYI dose and until they know how ADDYI affects them [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ].
Nursing Mothers Advise patients not to breastfeed if they are taking ADDYI [see Use in Specific Populations (8.2) ].
