Menopausal women pose as men to buy testosterone online after prescription difficulties
Menopausal women in Wales are posing as men to buy testosterone from online pharmacies after struggling to get NHS prescriptions, and one menopause specialist says she has seen women with up to 12 times the safe level of the hormone, risking permanent side effects.
For you: Worth knowing that hormone products bought online without monitoring have left some women far outside the safe female range, which is exactly what supervised prescribing is meant to prevent.
