Drug Firms Flex New Muscles In Testosterone Market; "Andropause' helps drive growth, though some say more research is needed.(HEALTH & MEDICINE)
Byline: AMY REEVES
The late 1990s and early 2000s might one day be remembered as the time when manliness started to come in drug form.
Drugs like Rogaine have made a mint treating baldness. Viagra and its imitators have kept men sexually active into old age. And now testosterone drugs are boosting virility everywhere.
The Institute of Medicine, which advises the federal government on health policy, noted the trend last month. It said testosterone prescriptions numbered 1.75 million in the U.S. last year, up 170% from 1999.
Testosterone's rising popularity is partly due to improvements in delivery methods.
Testoserone pills have been around 40 years, but they can harm the liver. Injections came later, but they tend to deliver the hormone in peaks and valleys, and patients must return to the doctor's office every few weeks for a refresher.
Patches became available in the 1980s, delivering a steady dose of testosterone.
