Intrinsa testosterone patch

My husband got information off of the netrition.com website concerning the testosterone patch for women. The article was from May 4th, 2004 and detailed that the results of the Phase III clinical study of the Proctor & Gamble testosterone patch (for women) were presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in Philadelphia. The 24 week study found "that participants experienced a 74 percent increase in the frequency of 'total and satisfying sexual activity' as well as a 56 percent increase in sexual deisre" [using the patch P&G developed]. There were 562 women in the study. The average age was 49 and all were already on estrogen therapy.

This UPI article said that the product has cleared a key regulatory hurdle. The Wall Street Journal reported that fact. If approved by the FDA, the testosterone patch, called Intrinsa, is expected to be available in 2005. This sounds like good news to me!

Intrinsa testosterone patch

It will be interesting to learn more about it. Thinking out loud here, I'm wondering about the prescription directions. While at first using my compounded testosterone cream on a daily basis for me was a good thing, after a while it was way too much. I can tweak my testosterone as much or as little as I want with the cream....how will that work with a patch?

Esther,
Thanks for the update! I knew they were conducting trials but hadn't heard much about it lately. It will be interesting to hear and see how the doses works out.
