ADDYI Film coated tablet Ref.[10066] Active ingredients: Flibanserin

Source: FDA, National Drug Code (US)  Revision Year: 2019 

1. Indications and Usage

ADDYI is indicated for the treatment of premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), as characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and is NOT due to:

  • A co-existing medical or psychiatric condition,
  • Problems within the relationship, or
  • The effects of a medication or other drug substance.

Acquired HSDD refers to HSDD that develops in a patient who previously had no problems with sexual desire. Generalized HSDD refers to HSDD that occurs regardless of the type of stimulation, situation or partner.

Limitations of Use:

  • ADDYI is not indicated for the treatment of HSDD in postmenopausal women or in men.
  • ADDYI is not indicated to enhance sexual performance.

2. Dosage and Administration

2.1 Recommended 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).

2.2 Missed 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.

2.3 Discontinuation of ADDYI

Discontinue ADDYI after 8 weeks if the patient does not report an improvement in her symptoms.

2.4 Initiation 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)].

10. Overdosage

Overdosage of ADDYI may cause an increase in the incidence or severity of any of the reported adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3, 5.4) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. In the event of overdosage, treatment should address the symptoms and supportive measures, as needed. There is no known specific antidote for flibanserin.

16.2. Storage and Handling

Store at 25°C (77°F); excursions permitted to 15°-30°C (59°-86°F) [see USP controlled room temperature].
