For a minute there, I thought the wife participated in the study. But then I saw that the experience was already 3 times a month and realized that's way to high - at least that I know of.
Within limits, of course.
Yeah, well most likely some woman is going to take the drug, then complain about sexual harassmant when some guy hits on her.
It's just a steroid. The health drawbacks of steroids are well known.
Just what we need -- bald bearded women with increased sex drive. That's appealing.
Just tape a wallet on any man's chest.
Must...stuff...back...vomit...projectile...
Need a Helen Thomas pic?
Or diamonds
Heh! Too much of a good thing??
Women don't need this crap. What they do need is better care and monitoring of their hormones through proper testing of their levels as they approach menopause.
Okay let you off THIS time... can't be sure next time ;-)
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Between Vioxx and the SSRI antidepressants, the moral of the story for the FDA is twice burned, thrice shy.
At this rate, the FDA will make it even harder to get a drug to the market. Why is our government deciding which drugs each of us can chose to take? Whether it's Vioxx, SSRI's or sexual stimulants, each of us must do a cost/benefit analysis before taking any medication. In a free market, things would be very different. In a controlled economy, the government assumes the role of the authoritarian protector of its incapable citizens.
LOL
This testosterone patch for women is a really bad idea :-(
Testosterone has terrible side effects on a small percentage of people (male and female) who are exposed to it.
Rage,rape and pedophilia are just a few...
Women are NOT immune to these side effects.
Testosterone is both angel and devil.... it drives males to great feats and discoveries....but an unfortunate few are driven over the cliff.
Limited clinical trials of this patch on women have likely not hit upon someone who has had a bad reaction...but if millions start using these then I bet we see some strange things.
Testosterone patches for men is a good way to regulate hormone levels in someone who suffers from testosterones bad effects. But in order to do this the natural souce must be eliminated first...yup..that's right..ouch. But it would cure those who suffer from rage and uncontrollable sexual perversions while allowing for normal libido (at the right time)
Men who have a bad reaction to testosterone live their entire lives under the influence of a mind-altering drug that they cannot easily escape...this must be a nightmare existence :-(
It occurred to me treating women with testosterone might,in addition to the reported risks,increase the odds of having "sexually imbalanced" or gay offspring.
