Testosterone Cream

Testosterone is often thought of as a “male hormone,” but it plays an important role in women’s health, too. Produced in small amounts by the ovaries and adrenal glands, testosterone supports libido, mood, muscle mass, and even cognitive function.

Experts agree that the best evidenced reason to take testosterone is to help women’s sexual health–especially sexual desire and arousal.

And emerging studies have shown it may also help support:

• Energy

• Muscle tone

• Cognition

Midi’s Testosterone Cream is designed for women’s unique needs:

• Tailored for women (instead of using male therapies dosed down for women)

• Low-dose, transdermal application

• Clinician-guided care based on symptoms, not just lab values

• Ongoing safety monitoring through lab work and check-ins

Yes. Testosterone often complements estrogen and progesterone therapy. Each hormone supports different symptoms. Your clinician will help you find the right balance.

Apply the recommended amount of cream to your inner thigh or as directed by your clinician.

Side effects are rare at the appropriate lower female dosing we prescribe, but can include:

• Mild acne or oily skin

• Increased hair growth (especially at application site)

• Voice deepening (rare and typically dose-related)

• Mood changes

Your clinician will monitor your levels closely and adjust your dose if needed to help prevent these side effects.

No. Midi Clinicians review and prescribe testosterone for women with symptoms, whenever it’s the right fit.

"Normal" lab ranges can be broad. If you're experiencing symptoms and could benefit, testosterone treatment may still be appropriate. We treat based on how you feel, not just what the numbers say.

If you stop, the benefits will gradually fade, but always check with your clinician before stopping.

You may want to avoid using Midi’s Testosterone Cream if you: 

• Have a known allergy to the medication or its ingredients

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Are in active cancer treatment with chemotherapy on an aromatase inhibitor

Pellets release testosterone in uncontrolled and often large amounts, and they can’t be adjusted once implanted. Midi prescribes safe, low-dose therapy that can be paused or changed anytime.
