Let's take a minute to talk about your medication.  

This is Vyleesi. It helps to treat hypoactive low sexual desire in women who are premenopausal. It may have other uses, too.  

Vyleesi is given as an injection under the skin. It is important to take it exactly as your doctor tells you to. Before you give a dose at home, your doctor will teach you how to inject a dose and how to dispose of the device. You should read the "Instructions for Use." It is important to feel confident with your training. If you still have questions, your doctor or pharmacist can help. 

Most people tolerate this medicine well. Common side effects include a headache, nausea, and flushing. It can also cause dizziness and fatigue. Some people have reactions at the injection site, like redness, itching or swelling. You should wait until you know how this medicine affects you before you do activities that require you to be alert, like driving. These effects are normal if they are mild and should go away. If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking this medicine, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist.  

As with any medicine, rare but serious side effects could occur. With Vyleesi, this includes nausea, darkening of the skin on certain parts of the body and increases in blood pressure. It can also cause muscle or joint pain, and restless leg syndrome. You should read the Patient Information Sheet to know which symptoms to watch for and when to report changes. 

This medicine may not be safe for unborn babies. Women must talk to their doctors about which birth control to use and for how long. Also, women must check with their doctors before breastfeeding.

Vyleesi can interact with other medicines. You should always check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking other medicines. 

For best results with Vyleesi, only use this medicine 45 minutes before planned sexual activity.
