How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (ADDYI). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

The mechanism of action of ADDYI in the treatment of women less than 65 years of age with acquired, generalized HSDD as characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty (not due a co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, problems within the relationship, or the effects of a medication or other drug substance) is not known.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

Flibanserin is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and, to a lesser extent, by CYP2C19.

With food

Effect of Food Food increased the extent of absorption and slowed the rate of absorption of a 50 mg dose of flibanserin (one half the recommended dosage).
