But past efforts by drugmakers to get such treatments approved by the FDA specifically for HSDD have been blocked for safety concerns. Intrinsa, a testosterone patch manufactured by Procter & Gamble, is used to treat female sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women in Europe, but after being tested...
