The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Flibanserin in 2015 for the treatment of generalised acquired HSDD in premenopausal women. It has a high affinity for postsynaptic 5-HT-1A receptors (agonist) and 5-HT-2A receptors (antagonist), and it tends to work by increasing dopamine and noradrenaline levels in the brain while decreasing serotonin levels.
