Addyi is an FDA-approved prescription medicine used to treat hypoactive (low) sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in women who have not gone through menopause who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and who have low sexual desire no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation, or the sexual partner.
Women with HSDD have low sexual desire that is troubling to them. Their low sexual desire is not due to a medical or mental health problem, problems in the relationship or medicine or other drug use. Addyi is not for use for the treatment of HSDD in women who have gone through menopause, men or children. Addyi is not for use to enhance sexual performance.
