Trump administration eyes broader testosterone prescription access

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This proposed policy shift, supported by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., seeks to address symptoms like low libido and erectile dysfunction, which are often associated with aging. While recent research has allayed some concerns about cardiovascular risks, experts note that only a small fraction of current testosterone prescriptions meet the criteria for treating diagnosed medical conditions.
