Low Sex Drive Medication for Women

Medically reviewed by Dr. Delp, MD

Hormone-free libido treatment in Duluth, MN

The Only #1 FDA-Approved Pill for Low Libido in Women

Low sex drive isn’t just about mood—it’s a real, diagnosable medical condition. And at Duluth Med Spa, we believe women deserve options that work with their body, not against it. Addyi® is a 100% hormone-free prescription medication for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), offering women a science-backed path toward restoring interest in sex, reducing stress around intimacy, and improving sexual satisfaction.

What Is Addyi® (HSDD Treatment for Women)?

Addyi® (flibanserin) is an FDA-approved prescription treatment for acquired, generalized Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) in women younger than 65. This includes eligible premenopausal and postmenopausal women who meet the prescribing criteria. It’s taken as a daily oral tablet and works on brain chemicals associated with desire and arousal. Unlike hormone-based therapies, Addyi® is non-hormonal.

Addyi® is prescribed when low sexual desire 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. Addyi® is not intended to enhance sexual performance.

What Can Addyi® Treat?

Acquired, generalized Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) in women under 65

Low sex drive causing emotional or relational stress

Lack of sexual thoughts, interest, or responsiveness

Non-hormonal causes of low libido

Female arousal disorder symptoms linked to brain chemistry

How It Works

Addyi® is a non-hormonal libido booster that targets brain pathways responsible for sexual desire. Specifically, it helps balance neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, while lowering serotonin. These shifts can increase a woman’s responsiveness to intimacy and reduce the mental block often associated with low sexual desire. It’s not a quick fix, but a cumulative reset of your sexual baseline—one that often begins working within a few weeks and builds over time.
