Generic Addyi Information

Introduction

Addyi (flibanserin) is a prescription medication indicated for the treatment of acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women. It belongs to the Women’s Health therapeutic class and is marketed by Sprout Pharmaceuticals. In Hong Kong, sexual‑health concerns are increasingly recognised, yet access to specialised treatments such as flibanserin can be limited for patients without a local prescribing specialist. Addyi addresses the unmet need for a pharmacologic option that directly modulates central neurotransmitters involved in sexual desire, providing an evidence‑based alternative to behavioural therapy.

What is Addyi?

Addyi is a centrally acting, non‑hormonal oral tablet containing the active compound flibanserin (100 mg per tablet). It was developed in the United States and received FDA approval in 2015 for the indication described above. The medication is classified as a serotonin‑modulating agent. While the brand name “Addyi” is protected, generic formulations that contain the identical active ingredient are also available in international markets. Our online pharmacy offers a cost‑effective generic alternative that meets the same quality standards as the original product.

How Addyi Works

Flibanserin exerts its therapeutic effect through a dual action on serotonin receptors in the prefrontal cortex: it agonises 5‑HT₁A receptors and antagonises 5‑HT₂A receptors. This receptor profile leads to a downstream increase in dopamine and norepinephrine release while reducing serotonergic tone. The net result is an enhancement of neuronal pathways that support sexual motivation and desire. Onset of clinical benefit is typically observed after several weeks of nightly dosing, reflecting the time required for central neurotransmitter modulation to translate into perceptible changes in sexual interest.

Conditions Treated with Addyi

• Acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women – the sole FDA‑approved indication.
• HSDD is characterised by a persistent or recurrent lack of sexual desire that causes personal distress and is not better explained by another medical or psychiatric condition, relationship problems, or the effects of a medication.

Epidemiological data from regional health surveys suggest that up to 10 % of women of reproductive age in Hong Kong experience clinically significant low sexual desire, underscoring a sizable population that could benefit from a targeted pharmacologic approach. Although Addyi is not approved for men, post‑menopausal women, or for treating sexual arousal disorders, it fills a niche where non‑hormonal therapy is preferred.

Patient Groups Most Likely to Benefit

• Premenopausal women (ages 18–49) with a confirmed diagnosis of HSDD after excluding hormonal, psychological, or relational contributors.
• Patients who have tried behavioral or psychotherapy‑based interventions without sufficient improvement.
• Women without uncontrolled hypertension, severe hepatic impairment, or concurrent use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.

Addyi is not appropriate for:

• Post‑menopausal women or men.
• Individuals with a history of excessive alcohol consumption, due to the risk of severe hypotension.
• Patients taking medications that strongly inhibit CYP3A4 (e.g., ketoconazole) or potent CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin) without dose adjustment.

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Dizziness
• Somnolence (daytime sleepiness)
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Insomnia
• Dry mouth

These events are generally mild to moderate in intensity and often improve with continued therapy.

Rare

• Abnormal dreams or vivid nightmares
• Anxiety or heightened nervousness
• Mood changes including mild depression

Rare events may warrant clinical assessment, especially if they persist beyond the initial treatment phase.

Serious

• Severe hypotension and syncope when taken with alcohol or potent CYP3A4 inhibitors.
• Hepatic failure in patients with pre‑existing moderate to severe liver disease.
• Serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic agents (e.g., selective serotonin re‑uptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors).

Any occurrence of sudden loss of consciousness, severe dizziness, or signs of liver injury (jaundice, dark urine, right‑upper‑quadrant pain) requires immediate medical attention.

Clinically Relevant Drug–Drug Interactions

• Alcohol – amplifies hypotensive and sedative effects; consumption must be avoided on days Addyi is taken.
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, erythromycin, nefazodone, protease inhibitors, certain HIV antiretrovirals) – can raise flibanserin plasma concentrations, increasing the risk of serious adverse events. Co‑administration is contraindicated.
• CYP3A4 inducers (rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, St. John’s wort) – lower drug exposure, potentially reducing efficacy; dose adjustments may be required.
• Other CNS depressants (benzodiazepines, opioids, antihistamines) – additive sedation; monitor for excessive drowsiness.

Patients should provide a complete medication list, including over‑the‑counter products and herbal supplements, to their prescriber.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard dosing: One tablet (100 mg) taken orally once daily at bedtime. The medication may be taken with or without food, but alcohol must be avoided on the dosing night.
• Missed dose: If a dose is forgotten, skip it and resume the regular schedule the following night. Do not double the dose to “make up” for the missed tablet.
• Overdose: Immediate medical evaluation is required. Management is supportive, focusing on airway protection, cardiovascular monitoring, and treatment of hypotension or excessive CNS depression. No specific antidote exists.

Precautions

• Renal or hepatic impairment: Use with caution; dose reduction is not formally recommended but frequent monitoring is advised.
• Blood pressure: Baseline measurement should be obtained; uncontrolled hypertension is a contraindication.
• Pregnancy and lactation: Flibanserin is not recommended; effective contraception should be used during treatment.

FAQ

• Is Addyi covered by Hong Kong’s public health insurance schemes?
  No, Addyi is not currently listed under the Hospital Authority’s reimbursement schedule. Patients typically pay out‑of‑pocket or via private insurance plans that include prescription drug benefits.

• Can Addyi be used in combination with hormonal contraceptives?
  Yes, hormonal birth control methods do not interfere with flibanserin’s metabolism and are considered safe to use concurrently.

• What are the storage requirements for Addyi tablets?
  Store the tablets at room temperature (15‑30 °C) in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat sources.

• How long does it take to notice an improvement in sexual desire after starting treatment?
  Clinical trials demonstrated a statistically significant increase in desire scores after 8 weeks of continuous nightly dosing; some patients report benefits earlier, while others may require up to 12 weeks.

• Is it possible to obtain a prescription for Addyi through telemedicine?
  In Hong Kong, telemedicine providers may issue a valid prescription after a remote assessment, provided the patient meets the approved indication criteria.

• Are there any differences between the brand‑name Addyi and generic flibanserin formulations?
  Generic versions contain the same active ingredient, dosage strength, and release profile as the brand‑name product; they must meet identical bio‑equivalence standards set by regulatory authorities.

• Can Addyi be safely imported for personal use under Hong Kong’s import regulations?
  Personal import of prescription medicines is permitted when accompanied by a valid local prescription and the quantity does not exceed a 30‑day supply; our online pharmacy handles the necessary documentation on the patient’s behalf.

• Do Asian populations experience different side‑effect profiles with Addyi?
  Current post‑marketing surveillance does not indicate ethnicity‑specific safety concerns; however, clinicians may monitor hepatic function more closely in populations with a higher prevalence of liver disease.

• What should a patient do if they experience severe dizziness after taking Addyi?
  They should stop the medication, avoid alcohol, hydrate, and seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out hypotension or other complications.

• Is it necessary to discontinue Addyi before planning a surgical procedure?
  Flibanserin does not interfere with anaesthetic agents, but patients should inform their surgical team of all medications; routine discontinuation is not required unless otherwise directed by the operating physician.
