How Addyi Tablet Work

This medication helps boost the activity of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which is a chemical messenger in the brain that supports feelings of sexual desire and arousal. In particular, Addyi binds to specific structures called serotonin receptors and this leads to excitation in areas of the brain that are associated with arousal. It is important to take it every day whether the intention is to have sex or not. Furthermore, this medication improves the sex drive, but not sexual performance.
