Intrinsa, the much heralded pharmaceutical patch to help women with a low libido is about to be available to prescribe in the UK.  This is the first of a number of pharmaceutical products currently in development to help women with a low sex drive.  Intrinsa has been launched by Proctor and Gamble which received approval for this product from the European Medicines Agency last July.

The patch works by supplying the body with additional testosterone – a hormone that occurs naturally but is often found to be low in women who complain of having a low sex drive.  The testosterone is delivered via a transdermal patch to reduce the potential side effects.  The patch is placed on the lower abdomen and should be changed every 3 to 4 days.  Trials have shown that women who use the patch are inclined to feel like having sex more frequently.

Intrinsa is a prescription only medication and it will not be appropriate for everyone.  We will provide more information when it becomes available.

If you would like to register your interest in this product, please feel free to send an e-mail to consultations@theonlineclinic.co.uk and we will notify you when we have this product available to prescribe.
