Start your conversation
with “Vyleesi”

Ask your doctor about Vyleesi by name. Vyleesi is the only FDA-approved as-needed treatment for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) that:

  • Increases desire and reduces related distress
  • You can take at least 45 minutes before anticipated sexual activity
  • Has no alcohol restriction

Do not take Vyleesi more than one time within 24 hours or more than 8 times per month.

Speaking up works

Intimacy isn’t something that your doctor is likely to bring up.
That’s why it is up to you to initiate the conversation. Here’s how you can start.

What are the possible side effects of Vyleesi? Vyleesi can cause serious side effects, including:
  • Temporary increase in blood pressure and decrease in heart rate: An increase in blood pressure and decrease in heart rate can happen shortly after you inject Vyleesi. These changes usually go away within 12 hours after your injection. Increases in blood pressure and an increased risk of heart (cardiovascular) problems can happen if you use Vyleesi more often than prescribed by your healthcare provider.
  • Darkening of the skin on certain parts of the body (focal hyperpigmentation), including the face, gums (gingiva), and breast. The chance of darkening of the skin is increased in people with darker skin color. The chance of darkening of the skin is higher if Vyleesi is used every day. Darkening of the skin may not go away, even after you stop using Vyleesi.
  • Nausea. Nausea is common and can also be severe. Nausea most commonly happens after the first Vyleesi injection but can also happen after any dose of Vyleesi. The nausea usually lasts for about 2 hours but can last longer in some people. The nausea usually goes away by itself. Tell your healthcare provider if you have nausea that is severe or does not go away.

The most common side effects of Vyleesi include: flushing, injection site reactions, headache, vomiting, cough, fatigue, hot flush, tingling, dizziness, and nasal congestion. These are not all the possible side effects of Vyleesi.
