How do I use this medicine?

Apply 1 pump of cream in the morning around the same time every day to the inside of the forearm, upper arm or inner thigh

Never apply to open sores, wounds, or irritated skin.

Completely clean and dry the skin. Squeeze 1 pump of the cream on the appropriate area. Using a circular motion, rub in the medication until it is absorbed and the area feels dry. Let the medication dry for a few minutes before getting dressed to prevent your clothes from wiping it off your skin.

Wait half an hour after application before bathing or swimming to ensure the best absorption.

Rotate the site of application to avoid skin irritation and saturation issues.

The cream will take 30 minutes to absorb so please refrain from applying anything further during this time. Should you need to apply sunscreen please do so 30 minutes after you’ve applied your hormone cream.

how quickly can i expect to see results

We’ve prepared an indicative timeline for you.

Months 0-3: Most women get relief of their symptoms in less than a week, for others it can take three months. If you’re not seeing improvement in symptoms by 2-3 months don’t panic, but before you re-order you need to liaise with a H+ You clinician as you may need an increased dose.

Months 3-6: Most women using testosterone cream will have already seen visible results.

Months 6-12: Most women will have significant improvement in their symptoms. The full results of treatment can be expected after 9-12 months. Most women need to continue testosterone cream for symptom improvement to be maintained. Some women find that after using their cream for some months or years, they can discontinue using the cream as their symptoms have cleared up.
