Sedation If misused, this drug has sedation effects, and some individuals use it for the wrong reasons as they try to get a calm, sound sleep. If this happens, the users sleep for more hours than they should. This, in return, affects their productivity primarily due to a lack of concentration and sleeping during the wrong hours.
Fainting due to blood pressure drop This is the most dangerous side effect, and it mostly happens when the drug is used at the wrong time. As earlier mentioned, the medication should be used during sleep or rest. Administering the drug during waking hours or when your body is active results in blood pressure drop and could make you faint.
WHAT ARE WARNINGS FOR Flibanserin? Contraindicated with alcohol When administered with alcohol, this drug could lead to significant blood pressure drop, which results in severe dizziness, fatigue, and sedation, and you could even faint due to these side effects. It is recommendable that once you start using Flibanserin, you should stop taking alcohol. Even the smallest amount of alcohol could lead to the mentioned side effects.
Contraindicated with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors If used with strong or moderate YP3A4 inhibitors, you are likely to experience an increased concentration of Flibanserin, which will be more like overdosing. This will, in return, make you experience the side effects of overdosing this substance. With this, you should note that the use of these inhibitors is contraindicated, meaning that you should only use it if forced by circumstances.

The drug is not advisable for individuals with liver impairment unless with the help of a medical expert. It is recommendable that you seek advice from a physician who will help you manage your liver impairment before embarking on the use of this drug. Studies showed that Flibanserin (167933-07-5) increased exposure to those with liver impairment compared to those with a healthy functioning liver, which exposed them to more risk of developing syncope, hypotension, and central nervous system depression.
Pregnancy and lactation No clear studies are indicating whether this product imposes any risks to pregnant or lactating women. According to a test done on animals, it showed that toxicity only occurred only in the presence of maternal toxicity. Some of the effects during such a period include weight gain, sleepiness, and dizziness. The animals slept more than usual. Some of the animals experienced reproductive and developmental effects, including structural anomalies and weight loss. It is yet to be determined if Flibanserin powder (167933-07-5) has any effects on human breast milk distribution, and it is also unknown whether it has any impact on the breastfed infants. Studies done on rats showed that the drug was excreted in rat milk. With this, it is safe to say that the use of Flibanserin when pregnant or breastfeeding poses potential adverse effects on breastfeeding women such as sedation, and this could also affect the breastfed infants.
