Key points

  • Licensed only for acquired, generalised hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in women under 65, where low desire causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.
  • A boxed warning states that taking flibanserin close in time to alcohol increases the risk of severe hypotension and syncope.
  • Contraindicated with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and in hepatic impairment, because both raise flibanserin levels and can trigger the same hypotensive event.

How does Flibanserin work?

This Women’s Health medicine shifts the balance of brain chemicals that regulate sexual interest. It lowers the inhibitory signal from serotonin while raising the arousal-linked chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine. The effect on desire builds over several weeks, and the label states it is not indicated to enhance sexual performance or for use in men.
