Vyleesi, like Addyi, probably won’t be overprescribed, Cirino added. When Addyi was introduced, there were concerns “that doctors would just be prescribing this medication to anybody that came in saying that they were having an issue with their libido,” she said. “And I think we have to give physicians more credit than that. In fact, that didn’t happen at all.”

“There’s so many chemical factors that influence our libido,” she told CNN. “So you can’t discount using a chemical treatment as part of the broad approach to low libido.”
