Androfeme

Androfeme is a treatment for women with a deficiency in testosterone. This is not licensed in the UK, but The Online Clinic can prescribe this for patients in the UK following an online consultation.

What is Androfeme?

The active ingredient in Androfeme is a hormone called testosterone. This is a naturally-occurring hormone produced by a woman's ovaries and adrenal glands. The role of testosterone in the body is to maintain normal sexual, metabolic, and cognitive functioning, mood, bone and muscle strength, and urinary and reproductive health.

Testosterone levels decline with age, particularly after the menopause. A deficiency in testosterone can lead to sexual symptoms such as reductions in libido, arousal, and orgasm. It can also result in low energy levels, cognitive problems, depression, poor bone maintenance (osteoporosis), muscle loss, and a reduction in overall quality of life. The testosterone in Androfeme is the same as that produced by the body. Therefore, when women experience one or more of these symptoms, Androfeme can be prescribed to address the testosterone deficiency.

How to use Androfeme

Androfeme is a white cream that is readily absorbed by the skin. Follow the doctor's instructions on how to use, how much to use and where to use this cream. The starting dose is usually 0.5 mL of cream (5 mg of testosterone) each day. The maximum dose is 1.5 mL of cream (15 mg testosterone) each day. Apply the cream around the same time each day.

Androfeme cream is applied to the skin using an applicator. To fill the applicator with your required dose of cream, open the tube of cream and carefully squeeze the tube until the cream reaches the top of the tube nozzle. Insert the applicator tip into the tube nozzle so that the tube nozzle and the applicator shoulder are in contact. Then, at the same time, gently squeeze the tube base and withdraw the applicator plunger. Fill the applicator past the required dose measure of cream, then push the plunger to the required dose mark, so that excess cream is pushed back into the tube and any air bubbles are removed. Finally, remove the applicator from the tube nozzle, replace the tube cap, and wash the applicator in hot water.

Androfeme cream is used on clean, dry, healthy skin of the abdomen or the upper outer thigh. The cream is massaged into the skin until absorbed, and then covered by clothing. Wash your hand after application. Do not use perfumes, moisturisers or deodorants on this skin area, as the absorption of Androfeme may be affected. Also, do not use the cream on broken or damaged skin, or shower or bathe for one hour or more after application. The area of application should not come into direct skin contact with another person for one hour after application or they may absorb some testosterone.

If you miss your dose, then apply it immediately if you are less than 9 hours past your usual application time; otherwise, wait until the next usual time of application. Immediately seek medical assistance if you use too much cream.
