Indications & Uses
Flibanserin tablet is used to treat premenopausal women who have acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). This means low sexual desire that causes marked distress or difficulty in the relationship, and that 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.
Pharmacology
Nobody knows how Flibanserin works in premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder. In laboratory studies it showed a high affinity for 5-HTIA and 5-HT2A receptors. It acts as an agonist on 5-HTIA and as an antagonist on 5-HT2A. This leads to lower serotonin in the brain, and it also increases the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine.

Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
If a patient feels faint (pre-syncope) while taking Flibanserin, they should lie flat on their back straight away. If the symptoms don't go away, they should get medical help promptly. Other CNS depressants can make this worse, and so can any situation where Flibanserin levels in the body are raised. Patients should not do anything that needs full alertness, such as operating machinery or driving, until at least 6 hours after each dose. They should also wait until they know how Flibanserin affects them.
Contraindications
Flibanserin must not be used in three situations: when the person is drinking alcohol, when they are taking a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor at the same time, and in patients with hepatic impairment.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
No studies of Flibanserin have been done in pregnant women, so we don't know whether the medicine carries a risk for humans. Flibanserin does pass into the milk of rats. Nobody knows if flibanserin is present in human milk, if it has any effect on a breastfed infant, or if it changes milk production. Because a breastfed infant could have serious adverse reactions, including sedation, breastfeeding is not recommended while you are being treated with Flibanserin.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
