Hi Ladies

apparently AndroFeme®1 is testosterone for women.

Can all Doctors in the UK get hold of it?

thank Papperminty x

No sadly. Private specialists have it imported from Australia

It's also not licensed in this country hence private prescription only - at great expense - not only for the consultation but also the cream is v expensive I gather too.

Thanks Hurdity,

 Dr Newson is using it, seems a shame that more specialists don't prescribe it as it is specially for women. I wonder how much more expensive it is in comparison to the other testosterones and also if there is a chemical difference making it more female friendly ?

Hi

I am using it.  I paid  £113.00 for a private prescription.  I think the tube is supposed to last about 3 months.

It's very expensive compared to Testogel and Tostran x

I am using it.  It's very easy to use every day and is designed in female strength doses.  No guessing blob sizes.  But it is expensive as Jeepers says.  But at .5ml a day the tube lasts 3 months.

Is it possible for me to ask my private GP to prescribe it, or is it only available from specialists?

You still need a doctors prescription though.  I tried to get it and my GP refused saying it was in a red zone (whatever that means) so they couldn't prescribe. Interestingly I had no trouble getting Testim which is really for men, ironic isn't it.  Hopefully given time and the higher profile meno is getting this will change in the future x

Thanks Ladies,

Quite frankly it is postively shocking that yet again women are being treated like second class  citizens,-  although it is privately expensive, The cost is surely not prohibitive for the NHS.  It just seems that the menopause is not important- It should be as it effects 50% of the population. Time for a change.

Hello pepperminty,


I hope you can get your GP to prescribe it. I'm sure it's only a matter of time (and lots of paperwork and big corporate deals) to have it available in the UK, after all gender differences are just a matter of quantity when it comes to testosterone.
