Flibanserin Tablets are a medicine used to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women. They work by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain rather than acting on hormones.

Here are the key details:

• Composition: Each tablet contains Flibanserin, commonly in a 100 mg strength.

• Dosage Form: Oral tablets, usually taken once daily at bedtime, as prescribed by a doctor.

• Mode of Action:

  • Flibanserin acts on serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine pathways in the brain.

  • It increases dopamine and norepinephrine activity (which can enhance sexual desire) and decreases serotonin activity (which can inhibit sexual desire).

• Uses:

  • Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women, characterized by low sexual desire causing distress or interpersonal difficulties.

• Treatment Goal: To increase sexual desire and improve sexual satisfaction in women with HSDD.

• Side Effects:

  • Common: dizziness, sleepiness, nausea, fatigue, dry mouth.

  • Less common/serious: low blood pressure (especially when standing), fainting, allergic reactions, interactions with alcohol causing severe hypotension.

• Precautions:

  • Should be taken at bedtime to reduce risk of dizziness or sleepiness.

  • Avoid alcohol, as it can cause severe hypotension and fainting.

  • Not recommended for use in men, postmenopausal women, or patients with liver impairment.

  • May interact with certain medications that affect liver enzymes (CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers).

  • Regular follow-up is recommended to monitor effectiveness and side effects.

👉 Flibanserin is unique because it targets brain neurotransmitters rather than hormones, making it a specific treatment for low sexual desire in premenopausal women.
