Addyi Treatment

Addyi at Relive Nations

Addyi (flibanserin) is the first and only FDA-approved medication specifically designed to treat acquired, generalized HSDD in premenopausal women. Addyi works by rebalancing neurotransmitters in the brain that are linked to sexual desire and mood regulation. By restoring this balance, Addyi helps rekindle sexual interest and reduces the distress associated with HSDD.
