About ANDROFEME^® 1:

ANDROFEME^® 1 is a cream containing 1% w/v (10mg/mL) testosterone B.P (17-β- Hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one). This form of testosterone is identical to the testosterone produced by the ovaries of women and the testes of men.

About Testosterone and Hypoactive Sexual Desire Dysfunction (HSDD):

Testosterone is the primary hormone that is vital for sexual motivation and desire. Although it is commonly considered as a male hormone, testosterone is also produced by women in much smaller amounts by the ovaries and adrenal glands. Reduced or absent sexual desire, thoughts, fantasies, responsiveness to erotic cues or stimulation is very common in women over the age of 40 years. Medically any of the above symptoms that have persisted over several months or more with associated distress is classified as hypoactive sexual desire dysfunction (HSDD). Clinical studies have shown that testosterone therapy for women with HSDD and low levels of testosterone can be useful to increase desire and sexual satisfaction.
