How it works
Women make testosterone too, and levels fall with age, well before menopause. It plays a role in libido, and many women also notice changes in energy and mood as it declines. When your labs and symptoms support it, your provider may prescribe testosterone at a low dose designed to keep you within the normal female range. It is often paired with estradiol and progesterone as part of a full hormone plan.
Important safety information
Testosterone is a controlled substance and requires lab testing and ongoing monitoring. There is no FDA-approved testosterone product for women in the U.S., so it is prescribed off-label at female doses. Possible side effects include acne and unwanted hair growth. Doses above the female range can cause voice deepening or other changes that may not reverse, which is why dosing is kept low and followed with labs. Testosterone cream can transfer to others through skin contact, so wash your hands after applying and keep the area covered, especially around children and partners. Not appropriate during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or when trying to conceive. Your provider reviews your history and labs before prescribing.
