How FDA decisions shape access

“[Patients] would need to understand it’s not a quick fix and it doesn’t help everybody… I would consider prescribing it to the right patient.” Addyi helps balance neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine to support sexual desire. The exact way Addyi works is unknown. ADDYI was studied in four 6-month clinical trials in more than 3,200 women with low sexual desire, of whom 902 were postmenopausal and under 65. Participants were randomly assigned to receive ADDYI or a placebo. Researchers evaluated changes in the number of sexually satisfying events, desire, and stress due to frustrating low sexual desire.

How is Addyi supplied (dosage forms)?

Getting Addyi doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Patients with insurance coverage pay as little as $20 per month2. Addyi is only $149/month through PHILRx, delivered free to your door, and their coupon is automatically applied.

All I have to say is OMG… I wish I had learned about this sooner!” “Addyi helped me reconnect with my desire in a way I’d been missing for years.” “I used to dread going to bed with my husband because I was never in the mood… he thought it was his fault.

Desire Starts in the Brain...

“It’s not something you can pop before intercourse and be in the mood to have intercourse,” she added. “You have to take it every day in a long-term format.” Liz Canner is the director of Orgasm Inc., a documentary about the pharmaceutical industry’s race to create a female version of Viagra. Canner began working for a pharmaceutical company editing erotic videos to be used for a drug trial. She simultaneously began filming an independent documentary about science and women’s pleasure. During filming, she said she discovered that the pharmaceutical company seemed more interested in making a profit than helping women.

How should I store Addyi?

“I remember asking things like why start working on a drug, and no one wanted to tell me that. What are the characteristics of this disease, and they’d say, ‘We don’t know really.’ It seemed very fuzzy. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with developing creams for pleasure if it doesn’t harm,” she said. “[Viagra] worked on men with erectile dysfunction [and] they thought this would be a bigger movement [that could work on women]. In the video below, watch clips from the documentary.

NEED TO KNOW

In the web extra video below, watch highlights from the FDA’s Dec. 2, 2004 hearing on Procter and Gamble’s Intrinsa, a testosterone patch designed for women. Canner takes issue with framing low sexual desire as a disease or disorder. “I think the problem of putting this in a disease category is it will put pressure on women to perform sexually in a certain way. It’s not a medical condition in that it’s a sickness or a disease,” Canner said, adding that some medications and conditions do contribute to reduced levels of sexual drive. Flibanserin should never be used in children for HSDD. Flibanserin is not recommended for use in the elderly. Safety and efficacy have not been established.

IN THEIR WORDS

“There are real reasons why women aren’t desiring their partners anymore—abuse, stress, [and/or] they don’t have a good sex life. This places it on women that there’s something wrong with them, and this can be a real problem and a setback.” What are the side effects of Addyi? The FDA lists dizziness, sleepiness, nausea, fatigue, insomnia and dry mouth as the most common side effects of Addyi. In addition, alcohol is not to be consumed while taking Addyi. “I think the really distressing part in all of this is the fact that the FDA approved this drug after rejecting it as an SSRI, and rejected it twice as a treatment for HSDD,” Canner said.

Drug information

“Women may be taking this drug for the rest of their lives, it may affect their babies.” Those may not be the only side effects of Addyi. “Those are the ones we know now,” Chaudhari said. “Sometimes after people begin using medications, we find out about more bad stuff.” Previous FDA rejections and side effects aside, the drug could benefit some women. “I think the biggest reason it wasn’t approved, other than the known side effects, was that it was only a small change in what people call improvement. On an individual basis, it could be big.

Other Medical Problems

But in a study it’s difficult to prove,” Chaudhari said. “It doesn’t mean it won’t help someone. I think it wasn’t approved [before] because it’s difficult to show improvement and this [time around] showed some. It doesn’t seem like a lot but to a woman affected by it, it may be enough for her to take on the side effects and the risks.” That said, Chaudhari says the drug should not be looked to as a panacea and she would prescribe it to select patients. “I don’t think it’s a panacea for the 40 percent of women plagued by this disorder,” she said.
