What is Addyi?

Addyi is a prescription medication approved for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD)—a condition characterized by persistently low sexual desire that causes personal distress and isn't explained by another medical condition or relationship issues. It's the first non-hormonal treatment approved for this condition. Unlike medications that increase blood flow, Addyi works on neurotransmitters in the brain to help rebalance the chemicals that influence sexual desire. It's taken as a daily pill at bedtime and may take up to 8 weeks to show its full effect.

Neurotransmitter rebalancing

Acts on serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine receptors in the brain to shift the balance toward the excitatory signals associated with sexual motivation and away from the inhibitory signals that suppress desire.

Non-hormonal mechanism

Unlike estrogen or testosterone-based treatments, Addyi works through the central nervous system—making it an option for women who want or need to avoid hormonal therapies.

Daily maintenance approach

Requires consistent daily dosing to maintain the neurochemical balance that supports improved desire—it's not a situational medication taken before activity, but a treatment that works gradually over weeks.
