Testosterone Therapy for Women Handout

My Testosterone Therapy for Women handout provides everything a patient or clinician needs to know about testosterone therapy in perimenopause and menopause. It is designed to help you understand why testosterone might be prescribed, how to use it correctly, and what to expect from treatment.

Here’s what the free handout includes:

  • The evidence: What research actually shows about libido, mood, energy, and cognitive clarity, and where the data is more limited.

  • Dosing instructions: Exact application guidance, including why the pharmacy label dose differs from what you actually use.

  • Cost & coverage: Out-of-pocket costs, why insurance typically doesn't cover it, and how to use GoodRx to reduce the price.

  • Monitoring plan: What to watch for, when levels are rechecked, and which side effects (rare at physiologic dosing) to report right away.
