| Testosterone spray, developed by the company Acrux, is a transdermal topical spray containing the sex hormone testosterone,
intended to improve the libidos of women when
applied to the abdomen. As of February,
2005, the spray has been tested in a clinical trial to determine its efficacy. The study, conducted by professor Susan Davis at Monash
University in Melbourne, Australia, involved 261 premenopausal women with low
levels of endogenous testosterone who were concerned by their diminished
libidos.
Those who used the product reported an average of two more satisfactory sexual experiences
per month than before the trial. Side effects included slight skin irritation and increases in body hair among some
participants.
Although the results were considered encouraging, the spray is not expected to become available on the market for several
years.
