Clinical Insights: Testosterone Therapy for Women & Men
SpeakerDr Natassia Rodrigo
This presentation will explore the evidence-based use of testosterone therapy in women and men, focusing on appropriate patient selection, prescribing considerations, and ongoing monitoring.
The presentation will review AndroFeme® 1, the world’s first licensed testosterone cream developed specifically for women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), and AndroForte® 5, Australia’s only PBS-listed scrotal testosterone cream for male androgen deficiency.
