flibanserin 100 MG Oral Tablet [Addyi]

INDICATIONS AND USAGE ADDYI is indicated for the treatment of women less than 65 years of age with acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) as characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and is not due to: • A co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, • Problems within the relationship, or • The effects of a medication or other drug substance. Acquired HSDD refers to HSDD that develops in a patient who previously had no problems with sexual desire. Generalized HSDD refers to HSDD that occurs regardless of the type of stimulation, situation or partner. Limitations of Use • ADDYI is not indicated in men. • ADDYI is not indicated to enhance sexual performance. ADDYI is indicated for the treatment of women less than 65 years of age with acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) as characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and is not due to ( 1 ): • A co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, • Problems within the relationship, or • The effects of a medication or other drug substance. Limitations of Use: • ADDYI is not indicated in men (1) • ADDYI is not indicated to enhance sexual performance. ( 1 )

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Recommended dosage is 100 mg taken once daily at bedtime (2.1) • ADDYI is dosed at bedtime because administration during waking hours increases risks of hypotension, syncope, accidental injury, and central nervous system (CNS) depression (2.1) • Discontinue ADDYI treatment after 8 weeks if no improvement (2.3) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of ADDYI is 100 mg administered orally once per day at bedtime. ADDYI is dosed at bedtime because administration during waking hours increases the risks of hypotension, syncope, accidental injury, and central nervous system (CNS) depression (such as somnolence and sedation) . 2.2 Missed Dose If a dose of ADDYI is missed at bedtime, instruct the patient to take the next dose at bedtime on the next day. Instruct the patient to not double the next dose. 2.3 Discontinuation of ADDYI Discontinue ADDYI after 8 weeks if the patient does not report an improvement in her HSDD symptoms. 2.4 Initiation of ADDYI Following Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitor Use If initiating ADDYI following moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor use, start ADDYI 2 weeks after the last dose of the CYP3A4 inhibitor. If initiating a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor following ADDYI use, start the moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor 2 days after the last dose of ADDYI [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of ADDYI is 100 mg administered orally once per day at bedtime. ADDYI is dosed at bedtime because administration during waking hours increases the risks of hypotension, syncope, accidental injury, and central nervous system (CNS) depression (such as somnolence and sedation) . 2.2 Missed Dose If a dose of ADDYI is missed at bedtime, instruct the patient to take the next dose at bedtime on the next day. Instruct the patient to not double the next dose. 2.3 Discontinuation of ADDYI Discontinue ADDYI after 8 weeks if the patient does not report an improvement in her HSDD symptoms. 2.4 Initiation of ADDYI Following Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitor Use If initiating ADDYI following moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor use, start ADDYI 2 weeks after the last dose of the CYP3A4 inhibitor. If initiating a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor following ADDYI use, start the moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor 2 days after the last dose of ADDYI [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ].

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hypotension and Syncope due to an Interaction with Alcohol : After taking ADDYI at bedtime, advise patients to avoid alcohol until the following day. (5.1) • Central Nervous System (CNS) Depression (e.g., Somnolence, Sedation) : Can occur with ADDYI alone. Exacerbated by other CNS depressants, and in settings where flibanserin concentrations are increased. Patients should avoid activities requiring full alertness (e.g., driving or operating machinery) until at least six hours after each dose and until they know how ADDYI affects them. (5.3) • Hypotension and Syncope with ADDYI Alone : Patients with pre-syncope should immediately lie supine and promptly seek medical help if symptoms do not resolve. (5.4) • Hypersensitivity Reactions, including anaphylaxis, angioedema, pruritus, urticaria : Avoid in women with known hypersensitivity to ADDYI or any of its components ( 5.6 ) 5.1 Hypotension and Syncope due to an Interaction with Alcohol Taking ADDYI within two hours after consuming alcohol increases the risk of severe hypotension and syncope. To reduce this risk, counsel patients to wait at least two hours after drinking one or two standard alcoholic drinks before taking ADDYI at bedtime [see Boxed Warning and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Patients who drink three or more standard alcoholic drinks should skip their ADDYI dose that evening. One standard alcoholic drink contains 14 grams of pure alcohol and is equivalent to one 12-ounce regular beer (5% alcohol), 5-ounces wine (12% alcohol), or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits/shot (40% alcohol). After taking ADDYI at bedtime, advise patients to not use alcohol until the following day. 5.2 Hypotension and Syncope with CYP3A4 Inhibitors Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors The concomitant use of ADDYI with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors significantly increases flibanserin concentrations, which can lead to hypotension and syncope [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. The concomitant use of ADDYI with a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is contraindicated. If the patient requires a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, discontinue ADDYI at least 2 days prior to starting the moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. In cases where the benefit of initiating a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor within 2 days of stopping ADDYI clearly outweighs the risk of flibanserin exposure related hypotension and syncope, monitor the patient for signs of hypotension and syncope. Discontinue the moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor for 2 weeks before restarting ADDYI [see Drug Interactions (7) ]. Multiple Concomitant Weak CYP3A4 Inhibitors Concomitant use of multiple weak CYP3A4 inhibitors that may include herbal supplements (e.g., ginkgo, resveratrol) or non-prescription drugs (e.g., cimetidine) could also lead to clinically relevant increases in flibanserin concentrations that may increase the risk of hypotension and syncope [see Drug Interactions (7) ] . 5.3 Central Nervous System Depression ADDYI can cause CNS depression (e.g., somnolence, sedation). In five 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trials of premenopausal women with HSDD, the incidence of somnolence, sedation or fatigue was 21% and 8% in patients treated with 100 mg ADDYI once daily at bedtime and placebo, respectively [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . In two similarly designed trials in naturally postmenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD, the incidence of somnolence, sedation or fatigue was 10% and 6% in patients less than 65 years of age treated with 100 mg ADDYI once daily at bedtime and placebo, respectively. The risk of CNS depression is increased if ADDYI is taken during waking hours, or if ADDYI is taken with alcohol or other CNS depressants, or with medications that increase flibanserin concentrations, such as CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Contraindications (4), Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.2), Adverse Reactions (6.1) , and Drug Interactions (7) ]. Patients should avoid activities requiring full alertness (e.g., driving or operating machinery) until at least 6 hours after taking ADDYI and until they know how ADDYI affects them [see Clinical Studies (14.3) ]. 5.4 Hypotension and Syncope with ADDYI Alone The use of ADDYI − without other concomitant medications known to cause hypotension or syncope − can cause hypotension and syncope. In five 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trials of premenopausal women with HSDD, hypotension was reported in 0.2% and <0.1% of ADDYI-treated patients and placebo-treated patients, respectively; syncope was reported in 0.4% and 0.2% of ADDYI‑treated patients and placebo-treated patients, respectively. In two similarly designed trials in naturally postmenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD, there was no difference in the incidence of hypotension between ADDYI-treated patients and placebo-treated patients. One case of syncope was reported in the ADDYI treatment group. The risk of hypotension and syncope is increased if ADDYI is taken during waking hours or if higher than the recommended dose is taken [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.3) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Drug Interactions (7) , and Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ]. Consider the benefits of ADDYI and the risks of hypotension and syncope in patients with pre-existing conditions that predispose to hypotension. Patients who experience pre-syncope should immediately lie supine and promptly seek medical help if the symptoms do not resolve. Prompt medical attention should also be obtained for patients who experience syncope. 5.5 Syncope and Hypotension in Patients with Hepatic Impairment The use of ADDYI in patients with any degree of hepatic impairment significantly increases flibanserin concentrations, which can lead to hypotension and syncope. Therefore, the use of ADDYI is contraindicated in patients with hepatic impairment [see Contraindications (4), Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. 5.6 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, reactions consistent with angioedema (e.g., swelling of the face, lips, and mouth), pruritus, and urticaria have been reported with ADDYI. ADDYI is contraindicated in women with known hypersensitivity to ADDYI or any of its components [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Immediately discontinue ADDYI and initiate appropriate treatment if a hypersensitivity reaction occurs. 5.7 Mammary Tumors in Female Mice In a 2-year carcinogenicity study in mice, there was a statistically significant and dose-related increase in the incidence of malignant mammary tumors in female mice at flibanserin exposures 3 and 10 times the recommended clinical dose of ADDYI. No such increases were seen in male mice or in male or female rats [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)] . The clinical significance of these findings is unknown. 5.1 Hypotension and Syncope due to an Interaction with Alcohol Taking ADDYI within two hours after consuming alcohol increases the risk of severe hypotension and syncope. To reduce this risk, counsel patients to wait at least two hours after drinking one or two standard alcoholic drinks before taking ADDYI at bedtime [see Boxed Warning and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Patients who drink three or more standard alcoholic drinks should skip their ADDYI dose that evening. One standard alcoholic drink contains 14 grams of pure alcohol and is equivalent to one 12-ounce regular beer (5% alcohol), 5-ounces wine (12% alcohol), or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits/shot (40% alcohol). After taking ADDYI at bedtime, advise patients to not use alcohol until the following day. 5.2 Hypotension and Syncope with CYP3A4 Inhibitors Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors The concomitant use of ADDYI with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors significantly increases flibanserin concentrations, which can lead to hypotension and syncope [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. The concomitant use of AD

CONTRAINDICATIONS ADDYI is contraindicated in patients: • Using concomitant moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . • With hepatic impairment [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . • With known hypersensitivity to ADDYI or any of its components. Reactions, including anaphylaxis, reactions consistent with angioedema (e.g., swelling of the face, lips, and mouth), pruritus, and urticaria have been reported [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . • Moderate or strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors (4, 5.2) • Hepatic impairment (4, 5.5) • Known hypersensitivity to ADDYI or its components ( 4 , 5.6 , 6.2 )

Mechanism of Action The mechanism of action of ADDYI in the treatment of women less than 65 years of age with acquired, generalized HSDD as characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty (not due a co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, problems within the relationship, or the effects of a medication or other drug substance) is not known.
