About ADDYI and its cost

What is this medication? Addyi, which contains the active ingredient flibanserin, is a prescription medication specifically designed to treat acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in women who have not yet gone through menopause. HSDD is characterized by a persistent or recurrent low level of sexual desire that causes significant personal distress or interpersonal difficulty. This medication is intended for women whose low sexual desire is not the result of a co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, problems within the relationship, or the effects of other medications or drugs.

Unlike treatments for male sexual dysfunction that focus on physical blood flow, this drug works by modulating chemicals in the brain related to sexual interest. It is thought to adjust the balance of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, which excite sexual desire, while decreasing serotonin levels that can inhibit it. Addyi is a daily medication taken at bedtime and is not meant for use in men or postmenopausal women. It is important for patients to discuss potential side effects and interactions, particularly with alcohol, with their healthcare provider.

ADDYI is made by Sprout. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford ADDYI?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for ADDYI?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Sprout has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover ADDYI?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Low Sexual Desire?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
