Post-Menopausal Decreased Libido

When a woman reaches menopause, her ovaries stop producing estrogen and the amount of testosterone in their bodies reduces to about half of the levels normal for heir reproductive years. Testosterone has been clinically linked to sex drive and for some women a decrease in testosterone may result in hypoactive sexual desire disorder (decrease in sex drive).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a transdermal patch (adhesive pad worn on the skin to deliver a steady dose of medication through the skin to the bloodstream) for the treatment of women with low se drive after going through menopause naturally.

Treatment of this study over 1 year includes 4 office visits and a follow-up visit by phone. Procedures include 2 annual: mammograms, endometrial biopsies, Transvaginal Ultrasounds, and other basic exams and care.
