Learn More >Reconnect with your desire
Vyleesi is the first and only FDA-approved as-needed treatment for hypoactive (low) sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in women who have not gone through menopause, who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and who have low sexual desire no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation, or the sexual partner. Women with HSDD have low sexual desire that is troubling to them.
Developed to help women rekindle their sexual desire—on their terms.
“Acquired” means that you were happy with your level of sexual desire in the past, but it has recently decreased. “Generalized” means that your level of sexual desire is the same, no matter the sexual activity, situation, or sexual partner.
Take Vyleesi as needed at least 45 minutes before anticipated sexual activity.
Do not take Vyleesi more than one time within 24 hours or more than 8 times per month.

Millions of women experience low desire associated with HSDD, but many haven’t even heard of it. While it’s normal to experience changes in your level of desire, an ongoing struggle to get in the mood can point to an imbalance of chemicals in your brain. The good news is it can be treated. And when it is, women can get back to butterflies, goosebumps, and all the things that come with desire.
Take our short quiz below to find out if what you’re experiencing could be HSDD.

What is HSDD?
1 in 10 women experience low libido associated with HSDD (Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder).
It’s the most common medical condition to cause sex-related distress for women—affecting self-esteem and putting a strain on relationships—but many women don’t discuss it with their doctors, and it often goes undiagnosed. If you’re experiencing an ongoing and frustrating lack of sexual desire, you’re not alone. Understand what causes HSDD and see if FDA-approved Vyleesi is the right treatment option for you.

Frequently asked questions
That’s the abbreviation for hypoactive sexual desire disorder. It’s a common, treatable medical condition characterized by ongoing low sexual desire that women find frustrating (“hypoactive” means “low”).
If you’re diagnosed with “acquired, generalized” HSDD, it means you haven’t had low sexual desire in the past, but you now have low sexual desire no matter the sexual activity, situation, or sexual partner.
If you’ve never heard of HSDD, you’re not alone. One survey showed that 72% of premenopausal women weren’t aware of HSDD,* even though about 10% of premenopausal women in the US have it.

Vyleesi (bremelanotide injection) is the first and only FDA-approved as-needed treatment for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). It was approved by the FDA on June 21, 2019.
Do not use if you have:
- high blood pressure that is not controlled (uncontrolled hypertension)
- known heart (cardiovascular) disease
Here’s what two identically designed clinical trials with over 1,200 premenopausal women with HSDD* showed:
Vyleesi increased sexual desire and reduced related distress.
Women who took Vyleesi experienced continued meaningful improvement of HSDD symptoms, with nearly 80% of women who completed the clinical study volunteering for an additional one-year extension.
The most common side effects are nausea, flushing, injection site reactions, headache, and vomiting.†
*The effectiveness and safety of Vyleesi were studied in two identical trials in over 1,200 premenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD for at least six months. Ages ranged from 19-56 years old, with an average age of 39 years old; 86% were White and 12% were Black. The trials had two phases: a 24-week Core Study Phase (24-week placebo-controlled, double-blind treatment period) and an uncontrolled 52-week Open-label Extension Study Phase in which nearly 700 patients received Vyleesi. Most people who received Vyleesi used it two to three times per month and no more than once a week.
†Serious adverse reactions were reported in 1.1% of Vyleesi-treated patients and 0.5% of placebo-treated patients.
