They cite a newspaper ad campaign, emails sent to physicians and the ‘Low-T‘ web site. In their letter, the academics charge that Abbott is promoting AndroGel for unapproved uses, exaggerating implied effectiveness, potentially harming public health due to cardiovascular side effects associated with the gel and violating Canadian law by failing to disclose that the drugmaker is sponsoring various ads and communications aimed at consumers and physicians. The ad “has serious potential to lead to h...

Take AndroGel, for instance. The salve is cleverly promoted on an unbranded web site called ‘Is It Low T?,’ which features a quiz. The site lists various symptoms and risks purported to be associated with the condition, although some do not match what was noted in the study, which was published last week in The New England Journal of Medicine. The study found that only 2 percent of men aged 40 to 80 suffer from the condition, which is also called male menopause, andropause or late-onset hypogonadism. The researchers measured testosterone levels in...

That’s right. If you need a lift, you just lift your arm, shmear it on and off you go. Imagine the direct-to-consumer ads. However, this pertains to men over 45. The rest will have to use Cialis. Results of a clinical trial released in September showed that, after four months, the Acrux cream helped 84 percent of patients achieve average blood levels of testosterone within the normal range. Acrux claims lowered testosterone affects 39 per cent of men over 45, with symptoms including decreased body mass and muscle strength, lowered libido and “erectile quality,” thinni...

The NDA was submitted August 28, 2007 and the target action date for the drug is June 27, 2008. Nebido is a long-acting testosterone injection for the treatment of hypogonadism.

Hypogonadism is a medical condition in which there is an absence or reduction of testosterone in the testes. Reduced testosterone levels can lead to decreased sexual desire, muscle loss and weakness and the increased risk of osteoporosis. It is estimated that four to five million men in the U.S. suffer from hypogonadism and less than 10% are rece...
