Abstract

A panel of advisers to the US Food and Drug Administration last week unanimously rejected an experimental testosterone patch as a treatment for women with sexual difficulties.

Procter & Gamble, global manufacturer of household products, wants to market the patch to women who have become menopausal after ovarian surgery, are currently taking oestrogen, and are said to have a controversial condition—“hypoactive sexual desire disorder.”
