AS-NEEDED ADMINISTRATION OF AN ANDROGENIC AGENT TO ENHANCE FEMALE SEXUAL DESIRE AND RESPONSIVENESS

摘要

A method is provided for enhancing a female individual's sexual desire and responsiveness. The method involves administration of a pharmaceutical formulation containing an effective amount of an androgenic agent, wherein administration is on an as-needed basis rather than involving chronic pharmacotherapy. Local delivery may be accomplished via administration to the vagina, vulvar area or urethra of the individual, although oral administration is preferred for those androgenic agents that are orally active. Formulations and kits for carrying out the method are provided as well.
