Addyi is a prescription medication that can be taken on its own or in combination with other drugs.

The usage of this medicine is still debatable, owing to the risk of drug interactions and side effects. Furthermore, according to some research, Addyi tablets in the UK have a little to moderate effect on the number of sexually fulfilling occurrences per month.

Uses

Addyi is for women who are not yet menopausal and have hypoactive (low) sexual drive, independent of their sexual partner, activity, or situation.

HSDD is a sexual dysfunction disorder that lasts six months or longer and involves a decrease or absence of sexual interest. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5), it was called female sexual interest/arousal disorder.

This illness produces distress or interpersonal issues and is not caused by another health problem (such as diabetes or depression), medication (such as antidepressants), or relationship problems.
