Libido Rx--long way from Ivory SoapFrom: Gerald P. Rodríguez (geraldpr@cybermesa.com)Wed Jun 16 16:26:36 2004
Report today (that I'm unable to link anyone else to, nor am I able to cut/paste) re Procter & Gamble and a testosterone patch for women to enhance libido. This was reported today by Reuters. "The testosterone patch, to be called Instrinsa, significantly improved sexual desire and satisfaction in women whose ovaries had previously been removed, according to data to be presented on Friday at the Endocrine Society of American annual meeting in New Orleans. Armed with data from two large clinical phase III clinical trials that appear to demonstrate safety and efficacy of Intrinsa, P & G believes it now has the information needed to seek approval from U.S. regulators....P & G would hope to have Intrinsa available by prescription sometime next year. 'This is huge,' said Sheryl Kingsberg, an associate professor of reproductive biology at Case Western Reserve University and one of the lead investigators of the trial." A prior study of this patch in "562 oophorectomized women had a 74% increase in frequency of satisfying sexual activity and a 56 % increase in sexual desire." The present study of 533 women showed 51% increase in "satisfying sexual activity" and a 49% increase in sexual desire. Another news report states that this patch will soon be available in Europe.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
