HORMONE COMBINATIONS AND SINLE DRUG FORMATS: HIGH-DOSE PROGESTOGEN ALONE AND TESTOSTERONE ALONE OR COMBINED WITH OESTROGEN AND PROGESTOGEN
HIGH-DOSE PROGESTOGEN ALONE
For reasons that are unclear, high doses of progestogen alone may prove helpful in relieving the problem of hot flushes if you are one of those women for whom oestrogen has not been recommended (such as those with a personal experience of breast cancer).
TESTOSTERONE ALONE OR COMBINED WITH OESTROGEN AND PROGESTOGEN
Testosterone alone or combined with other hormones may be given to women concerned about their loss of libido when this does not seem to be caused by psychosocial factors or discord with a partner. Testosterone is usually given by implant six-monthly or by injection into muscle tissue every three to six weeks. The dosage by implant is about one-quarter that prescribed for men with libido problems.
