This helps explain how the cream works and why it may be suitable for some patients.

Detailed Information

How it works

AndroFeme works by delivering testosterone through the skin into the bloodstream. This helps restore physiological testosterone levels in women with deficiency. The cream format allows slow, controlled absorption of the hormone throughout the day.

Clinical applications

According to the Australian prescribing guide, AndroFeme is primarily used for treating testosterone deficiency in women, particularly in postmenopausal stages or after oophorectomy (surgical menopause). It may help improve symptoms like fatigue or reduced libido, but should only be used under medical supervision.

Safety and Effectiveness

Safety profile

As noted in the official New Zealand data sheet, potential side effects of AndroFeme may include increased hair growth, acne, or changes in mood. Few women may also experience altered cholesterol levels or voice deepening. Close monitoring by a physician is advised to avoid excessive testosterone exposure.
