Testosterone therapy for women has gained a lot of traction, and for good reason.
Testosterone is not just a male hormone. Replenishing testosterone can help women take back their vitality, mood, and sexual well-being.
Most traditional testosterone medications are geared towards men. Women typically require smaller doses of the hormone, leaving compounding pharmacies to fill this gap in available medicines.

Testosterone cream is a topical form of hormone therapy designed to supplement naturally declining testosterone levels in women. It’s applied directly to the skin, where it’s absorbed into the bloodstream to help restore hormonal balance.

While testosterone therapy can be life-changing for many women, it’s important to use it under the supervision of a licensed provider.
For women, the best areas to apply testosterone cream are typically the inner thigh, upper arm, or abdomen. Areas with thinner skin are preferred application sites to allow for consistent absorption.
Dosing varies based on age, lab results, and individual response. Most women start with low doses that are gradually adjusted to achieve balance without overcorrection.
While creams are the most common form of testosterone therapy for women, other options may be better suited to certain lifestyles or preferences.
These tablets are placed under the tongue, allowing testosterone to absorb quickly through the mucosal lining. RDTs are convenient, portable, and can provide faster symptom relief.
Troches are small, dissolvable lozenges that deliver testosterone sublingually. They allow for flexible dosing and are a popular option for patients who prefer not to use topical creams.
Selecting the right form depends on your lifestyle, comfort level, and medical needs. Your provider can help determine which delivery method best supports your health goals.
For women navigating menopause or hormonal changes, testosterone therapy can help restore energy, mood, and libido. Whether in a cream, rapid-dissolve tablet, or troche, each form offers a path toward balance and vitality.
