Warning from Dr Newson
« on: June 16, 2023, 08:14:53 AM »

A menopause doctor says scammers using her name to illegally sell testosterone online are damaging women's health.

Dr Louise Newson, who founded Newson Health, has warned patients a website has stolen her brand and logo and is selling the sex hormone unlawfully.

"We do not sell medication directly to anyone online," she adds.

Testosterone is illegal to sell or supply without a prescription from a health professional and currently unlicensed in the UK for use by women.

However, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends it can be considered as a supplement for menopausal woman to treat low sexual desire if HRT alone is not effective.

The hormone can be prescribed off-label if it is deemed in the best interest of the patient.
