Intrinsa Patches

What are the benefits of Intrinsa patches?

Intrinsa patches offer women a safe and convenient method for restoring their sex drive after a hysterectomy. These easy to wear, discreet patches provide a consistent dosage of testosterone to the bloodstream which can gradually raise your libido. This will help you to enjoy a healthy sex life once again and treat Female Sexual Dysfunction.

How do the patches work?

The active substance in Intrinsa patches is testosterone; a natural sex hormone which is less prevalent in women but still plays an important part in the female sexual function. If the ovaries are removed, women can no longer produce this hormone which can significantly reduce their desire for sex. Intrinsa patches supplement your body with testosterone gradually, helping to increase your libido and restoring your desire for sex.

Who is suitable to use Intrinsa patches?

The Intrinsa patch has been developed for the treatment of low sexual desire in women up to the age of 60. Women who can benefit most from this treatment are those who:

• Have low sexual desire which is causing distress or concern
• Have had both ovaries removed
• Have had a hysterectomy
• Are receiving oestrogen therapy

Women have been diagnosed with breast cancer or any other cancer described as being caused or stimulated by the female hormone oestrogen, also called 'oestrogen-dependent' cancers, must advise their doctor before ordering this treatment.

How do I use Intrinsa patches?

Intrinsa is available in packs of two, eight and 24 patches which can all be used as a continuous treatment. A new patch should be applied every three to four days on to dry, clean skin on the lower abdomen. Do not apply each patch to the same spot; leave at least seven days before applying a patch to an area of skin again. Results should be noticeable within one month of you beginning the treatment.

Intrinsa side effects

Most side effects relating to this treatment involve slight irritation to the skin around the area where the patch is applied. These temporary irritations usually disappear shortly after beginning the treatment and can be alleviated if you apply skin moisturiser to affected areas. Users may experience more serious side effects if they suffer from any of the following conditions:

• A history of heart, liver or kidney disease
• Diabetes (testosterone may lower blood glucose levels)
• A history of excessive adult acne, body or facial hair, hair loss
