Benefits of getting your Addyi prescription from Your Doctors Online
Choosing our telehealth service for your Addyi needs means you'll benefit from a faster, more convenient, and private healthcare experience.
Private care for a sensitive condition
Low libido is personal, and most women delay care because of the awkwardness of an in-person visit. Our platform is fully private and HIPAA-compliant. You consult from home, and your prescription goes directly to your pharmacy with no waiting room required.
Licensed doctors who understand HSDD
Addyi has a specific eligibility checklist; alcohol use, current medications, liver function, and menopausal status all factor in. Our board-certified physicians take the time to review all of it properly. You get a prescription only when it's clinically appropriate, and you get a clear explanation of what to expect.
Prescription sent to your pharmacy the same day
Your e-prescription is sent to the pharmacy of your choice within minutes of your consultation. Most patients are able to pick up their Addyi the same day. No fax delays, no paper forms.
$20/month flat fee, prescription included
Your subscription covers your consult, your Addyi prescription, any follow-up questions, doctor's notes, and lab orders if your doctor needs them. No per-visit fees. No charge for refills inside your subscription period.
How to get an Addyi prescription online?
Getting your Addyi prescription through an online doctor is simple. Here's how the process works:
Start Your Consultation
Create an account, share your medical history, and symptoms of low sexual desire. Describe how long it has been going on and whether it causes you personal distress; this is what distinguishes HSDD from normal fluctuation.
Meet a licensed provider
Your doctor will review your medical history via video, audio, or text chat. They will ask about alcohol use, current medications, and relevant history to confirm you meet the criteria for Addyi safely.
Receive your Addyi prescription
If you are diagnosed with HSDD and meet the eligibility criteria, your doctor will send a prescription for Addyi 100 mg to your pharmacy of choice. Because our service is 24/7, you could have a valid prescription in under 5 minutes, even on evenings or weekends.
What is Addyi (Flibanserin)?
Addyi is the brand name for Flibanserin, a non-hormonal medication that acts on the brain's neurotransmitter system rather than the hormonal system. Unlike hormones or testosterone therapies, Addyi works by adjusting the balance of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in areas of the brain involved in sexual motivation and desire.
It is an FDA-approved non-hormonal treatment for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. It is sold exclusively under the brand name Addyi; there is currently no approved generic. However, Bremelanotide (Vyleesi) is also a non-hormonal, FDA-approved HSDD treatment for premenopausal women.

How much does Addyi cost?
Since there is no generic version of Flibanserin, Addyi's price depends heavily on your insurance plan and whether prior authorization is approved.
Cost with insurance
| Plan Type | Addyi (Brand) |
|---|---|
| Medicare Part D | Often not covered |
| Medicaid | Varies by state |
| Commercial HMO/PPO | $30 – $100+ with prior authorization |
| ACA Plans | Varies; prior authorization often required |
Cost without insurance
Tip: Use the Addyi manufacturer savings card or check NeedyMeds.org to significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost. GoodRx coverage is limited since no generic exists.
Conditions that Addyi can treat
Our doctors prescribe Addyi specifically for the following:
Go to your doctor in person instead if:
Your low libido is accompanied by signs of a hormonal disorder, severe depression, or a relationship crisis, or if you are 65 or older — Addyi is not approved for women in this age group.
Strength and dosage of Addyi
Addyi comes in one strength only. Your doctor will confirm you meet the eligibility criteria before prescribing, and will typically start you on a trial period to assess response and tolerability.
Tablet
Only available form · Only approved strength
Important: Wait at least 2 hours after having 1–2 alcoholic drinks before taking Addyi. Skip your dose entirely that evening if you've had 3 or more drinks — combining Addyi with alcohol increases the risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting.
Side effects of Addyi
Most people on Addyi experience only mild side effects. These are most common when starting treatment and often improve after the first few weeks.

Contraindications and precautions
A safety checklist your doctor will walk through with you before prescribing Addyi.
Do not take Addyi with alcohol. The combination can cause severe drops in blood pressure and fainting.
Do not take Addyi if you have liver impairment of any severity.
Do not take Addyi if you are currently on CYP3A4 inhibitors, including certain antifungals (fluconazole, ketoconazole) and others.
Do not take Addyi if you have a known hypersensitivity (allergic reaction) to flibanserin or any of its ingredients — this can include swelling, hives, or anaphylaxis and is unrelated to the alcohol warning above.
Taking Addyi and digoxin together is not recommended without close medical supervision.
Inform your doctor of all medications you are taking, including herbal supplements like ginkgo biloba or St. John's Wort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you buy Addyi over the counter in the U.S.?
No. Addyi (Flibanserin) is a prescription-only medication in the United States and is not available over the counter at any pharmacy. Websites that claim to sell it without a prescription are operating outside FDA regulation. The fastest legal route is a 5-minute telehealth consultation on Your Doctors Online. A licensed doctor reviews your case and, if appropriate, sends an online prescription to your local pharmacy.
Is it legal and safe to get an Addyi prescription online?
Yes. Getting an Addyi prescription through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform like Your Doctors Online is legal in the United States. Because Addyi is not a controlled substance, board-certified physicians can prescribe it following a proper telehealth evaluation. Your Doctors Online is fully compliant with U.S. telehealth regulations.
How fast can I get an Addyi prescription online?
In under an hour through Your Doctors Online. Sign in or create your account, start a consult, talk to a U.S.-licensed doctor over chat, video, or audio, and your prescription is sent to your chosen pharmacy, if Addyi is right for you, in less than an hour.
Does Addyi work right away?
No. Addyi is not an on-demand medication. It takes consistent daily use over 4 to 8 weeks for most women to notice meaningful improvement. If there is no improvement after 8 weeks of correct use, the FDA and our doctors recommend stopping the medication. Some women notice early changes around week 4; for others, it takes longer.
Why do I have to avoid alcohol while taking Addyi?
Both alcohol and Addyi depress the central nervous system. Taking them together dramatically increases the risk of dangerously low blood pressure and fainting. The FDA issued a black box warning on this interaction. If you plan to drink in the evening, skip your Addyi dose that night and follow your doctor’s specific guidance.
Will Addyi interact with my birth control?
Addyi does not reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. However, oral contraceptives can increase Flibanserin exposure in the body by approximately 1.4-fold, which may intensify side effects. It is not a contraindication, but you should inform your doctor if you are on hormonal contraception.
How much does Addyi cost without insurance?
Without insurance, the retail price for Addyi is typically between $400 and $800 per month for a 30-tablet supply, as no generic is currently available. The manufacturer offers a savings card that can significantly reduce this cost. Your Doctors Online charges a flat $20/month subscription for the consultation and prescription; the medication itself is filled at the pharmacy of your choice.
How do refills and follow-ups work for Addyi via telemedicine?
Refills are straightforward with Your Doctors Online. We typically start with a limited supply, 4 to 8 weeks, to monitor your response. If Addyi is working well and you are tolerating it, a refill consultation is quick. Here is how to request one:
- Open the Your Doctors Online app
- Request a refill
- Complete a brief follow-up consultation
- Receive your refill at your nearby pharmacy
What if Addyi doesn't work for me after 8 weeks?
If you have taken Addyi correctly every night for 8 weeks and noticed no improvement in sexual desire or satisfaction, the recommendation is to stop the medication. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may discuss an alternative, such as Bremelanotide (Vyleesi), which works differently and is taken on demand rather than daily.
Is it legal to get an Addyi prescription online?
Yes. Addyi was approved by the FDA in 2015 and is a legal prescription medication in the United States. Getting it through a licensed telehealth provider like Your Doctors Online is entirely legal. What is illegal is purchasing it from any site that does not require a valid prescription from a licensed doctor.
How do I know if my Addyi prescription is working?
Signs that Addyi is working include more frequent sexual thoughts or interest in intimacy, more satisfying sexual experiences, and reduced personal distress about your level of desire. Most women who respond to Addyi notice these changes between 4 and 8 weeks of consistent nightly use.
What is the best time to take Addyi?
Always take Addyi at bedtime. Taking it at any other time of day significantly increases the risk of dizziness, low blood pressure, and accidental falls. Do not adjust the timing without consulting your doctor.
What happens if I take too much Addyi?
Overdosing on Addyi can cause severe hypotension, extreme dizziness, and excessive sedation. Stick strictly to the prescribed 100 mg dose taken once nightly. If you suspect an overdose, seek emergency medical care immediately.
