Addyi Tablets In Pakistan
Addyi Tablets, containing the active ingredient flibanserin, are a prescription medication approved by the FDA for the treatment of acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women. HSDD is characterized by a persistent lack of sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.
Addyi works by targeting neurotransmitters in the brain—specifically serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine—to help restore sexual desire. It is taken once daily at bedtime to reduce the risk of side effects such as low blood pressure, dizziness, and fainting.
Addyi is not intended for use in men or postmenopausal women. It is important to avoid alcohol during treatment, as combining Addyi with alcohol can cause severe hypotension and syncope. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping this medication.
What should I avoid while taking ADDYI
Do not drink alcohol close to the time you take your ADDYI dose because this increases your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting (loss of consciousness).
Do not drive, operate machinery, or do things that require clear thinking until at least 6 hours after you take ADDYI and until you know how ADDYI affects you.
Do not drink grapefruit juice if you take ADDYI. Drinking grapefruit juice during your treatment with ADDYI increases your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting (loss of consciousness).
You should not take the herbal supplements St. John’s Wort, ginkgo, or resveratrol or certain over-the-counter medicines such as cimetidine until you talk to your doctor. Taking ADDYI with these herbal supplements and over-the-counter medicines may increase your risk of low blood pressure, fainting (loss of consciousness), and sleepiness.
What are the possible side effects of ADDYI
ADDYI can cause serious side effects, including:
Sleepiness is a common side effect of ADDYI and can be serious. Taking ADDYI can increase your risk of sleepiness if taken during waking hours, if you drink alcohol, or take certain medicines or herbal supplements.
Low blood pressure and fainting (loss of consciousness) can happen when you take ADDYI even if you do not drink alcohol or take other medicines or herbal supplements. Your risk of low blood pressure and fainting (loss of consciousness) is increased if ADDYI is taken during waking hours, if you drink alcohol within 2 hours of taking ADDYI, or if you take certain medicines or herbal supplements.
