The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
testosterone we tend check more often there's we don't have an FDA approved option for women for testosterone and so no so we either try to get her t- stem um or she's finding someone to insert a pellet or something and there's there's other issues with that
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so so it's a little bit of a cart horse problem which is we're stuck in this Paradigm where unless we get some approval we can't get out of it to do the longer studies that you'll see postmarket that that are carefully done and will satisfy future approval effectively the phase four trial yeah right
so you're basically left with three options none of them are an FDA approved product one is a compounded cream one is a compounded injection so they can compound it at 20 mg per milliliter of testosterone one so just to be clear we want to give about one1 of the M that y right yep and then the third is compounded pellets which again you can get an FDA certificate for the raw ingredient but it is not an FDA approved product the way for example your Vel dot is FDA approved as top Glen
And for women it works. Like it's not to say that that's something you shouldn't be on at all. Some women like that. Some women have like hyper androgen leaning, you know, uh, phenotypes and they might actually maybe benefit from some suppression. It kind of depends. Like some women need to use like anti-androgens to maintain like a more neutral profile to not get like heretism and whatnot, which is like like hair growth that would be reflective of like masculine characteristics. Um, so yeah, like in general, I'd be looking to that. um basic sympto symptoms symptoms and the biioarkers while there is a reference range of 15 to 70 I don't think you're ever going to have a doctor who's not part of like I don't know like the more progressive kind of like preventive really on the cutting edge tell them for sure just because they were low or like clinically low that they should replace because there's not really like a there's no FDA approved medication for women for testosterone in the US
You know, I mean, like there's definitely a way to go about it that I think is net beneficial for sure. It's not like clinically like there's a guideline that says like at this level equals, you know, you're the equivalent of hypoganatal and you should be on testosterone. Like it's always going to be an off label recommendation based on a assessment of like what kind of net benefit you would hopefully get out of it
