Intrinsa
Intrinsa patches for female sexual dysfunction treatment are a blessing for women who have to be satisfied, but have a low sexual desire and unfulfilled sex life.
Intrinsa testosterone patches are recommended for use in females suffering from sexual dysfunction (FSD) due to various reasons including age, removal of ovaries or uterus or any other medical reason. However, Intrinsa being a prescription treatment, it should be used only after obtaining a prescription from a GMC registered doctor.
Treatment of female sexual dysfunction with testosterone patches
Intrinsa patches are transdermal testosterone patches that are meant to be worn by women on their abdomen. They are translucent and oval. The active substance in these patches is testosterone. The Intrinsa patch releases small amounts of testosterone into the bloodstream. It has been clinically proven that Intrinsa testosterone patches help in reviving the lost sexual desire in women.
Safety of Intrinsa testosterone patches
By and large, Intrinsa is considered to be safe but still is not recommended for use in children, females allergic to testosterone or women having a history of heart or liver disease. Lactating or pregnant women should also avoid the use of Intrinsa testosterone patches. In addition, women who have had or presently have oestrogen dependent cancer, or have excess body hair, or acne should also avoid the use of Intrinsa testosterone patches.
Working of Intrinsa testosterone patches
When the testosterone levels in a female's body drop to extremely low levels, it leads to reduced sexual desire. The resultant condition is commonly known as female sexual dysfunction (FSD) or hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). Intrinsa testosterone patches have testosterone as its active ingredient. This is absorbed into the body through the skin and gradually results in an increase in the testosterone levels in the body, eventually leading to an improved libido and increased sexual desire.
Usage of Intrinsa testosterone patches
Usage of Intrinsa is easy and discreet. After you place an order for Intrinsa, follow your doctor's instructions on usage of testosterone patches.
- Clear the lower abdomen area thoroughly
- Apply Intrinsa patches
- Do not use the patch for more than three days

Side effects of Intrinsa
Almost all prescription medications have side effects at varying levels and Intrinsa is no exception. Some of the common but rare Intrinsa side effects include rashes, irritation, redness or itching. In addition, one may witness hair loss, acne, insomnia, migraines, increased amounts of hair on the upper lip or chin etc. These side effects usually go away after the use of Intrinsa testosterone patches is discontinued. These side effects are a result of the increased levels of testosterone in the body.
If these side effects persist or become serious, use should stop the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and a doctor should be consulted immediately.
Intrinsa testosterone patches are available for FSD only on prescription. You can place an order for Intrinsa online if you have a valid prescription or if you go for online consultation and the doctor approves you.
