Okay, here’s a verification and update of the provided text regarding Addyi (flibanserin), incorporating current information as of today, January 29, 2024. I will identify inaccuracies, update information, and provide a revised version.
Key Areas for Verification & Potential Updates:
* Contraindications: Confirm current list.
* Warnings & Precautions: Especially regarding alcohol interaction, CYP3A4 inhibitors, and CNS depression.
* Drug Interactions: Ensure the listed interactions are still current and relevant.
* Adverse Reactions: Check for any newly reported common adverse reactions.
* Website Link: Verify the link is still active and directs to the correct prescribing information.
* Prescription Data: The data cited (Sept 2022-Dec 2025) is outdated and needs to be updated if possible.
Verification & Findings (as of January 29,2024):
- Website Link: https://www.addyi.com/ is currently active and redirects to the official Addyi website. The prescribing information (PI) is available there.
- General Information: The core information regarding Addyi’s use (for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women) remains consistent.
- Contraindications: The listed contraindications are accurate as of the latest prescribing information.
- Warnings & Precautions: the warnings are largely accurate, but some nuances need clarification.
- Drug Interactions: The drug interaction list is generally accurate, but needs some updating.
- Adverse reactions: The list of common adverse reactions is consistent with current information,but not exhaustive.
- Prescription Data: The prescription data is outdated.Current data is tough to obtain without access to proprietary databases. I will remove this.

contraindications
- Moderate or strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors
- Hepatic impairment
- Known hypersensitivity to ADDYI (flibanserin) or any of its components. Reactions, including anaphylaxis, reactions consistent with angioedema, pruritus, and urticaria have been reported.
Warnings and Precautions
- Hypotension and Syncope Due to an Interaction with Alcohol: See Boxed Warning for risks associated with alcohol consumption.Patients should be advised not to drink alcohol while taking ADDYI and for at least 8 hours following discontinuation, as alcohol can significantly increase the risk of hypotension and syncope.
- Hypotension and Syncope with CYP3A4 Inhibitors: See Boxed Warning and Contraindication about use with moderate or strong cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors. Concomitant use of multiple weak CYP3A4 inhibitors, including herbal supplements (e.g., ginkgo, resveratrol) or non-prescription drugs (e.g., cimetidine), could led to clinically relevant increases in flibanserin concentrations, potentially increasing the risk of hypotension and syncope.
- Central Nervous System (CNS) Depression: ADDYI can cause somnolence and sedation, which can be exacerbated by other CNS depressants.The risk of CNS depression is increased if ADDYI is taken during waking hours. Patients should avoid activities requiring full alertness (e.g., operating machinery or driving) until at least six hours after each dose and until they know how ADDYI affects them.
- Hypotension and Syncope with ADDYI Alone: ADDYI can cause hypotension and syncope even without other medications known to cause these effects. the risk is increased if ADDYI is taken during waking hours or if a higher than recommended dose is taken.
- Syncope and Hypotension in Patients with Hepatic Impairment: Any degree of hepatic impairment significantly increases flibanserin concentrations, which can lead to hypotension and syncope. ADDYI is contraindicated in patients
