-
Reduced sexual desire causing personal distress or relationship difficulty
-
Female sexual interest/arousal disorder (as assessed by a physician)
It is not intended for use in postmenopausal women or in men.
Mechanism of Action
Flibanserin acts on the central nervous system by modulating neurotransmitters involved in sexual desire:
-
Agonist activity at serotonin 5-HT1A receptors
-
Antagonist activity at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors

Indirectly increases dopamine and norepinephrine levels
-
Reduces excessive serotonin activity that may suppress sexual desire
This balance helps improve sexual motivation and desire over time.
