Dab page for hormone therapy

I've added this to the Hormone replacement therapy disambiguation page.Skookum1 (talk) 16:07, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"therapeutic indications" vs "accepted as treatments"

there's a big difference between what a medicine can be prescribed for and/or what a particular doctor or medical establishment recommends or is willing to do. I agree with this edit though I haven't read the ref. Just because the accepted use in North America does not include the other indications mentioned doesn't mean that's a global verdict; and sure enough there were times in the past when it was prescribed for things other than low testosterone levels (in fact in the '60s it was prescribed as a standard anti-depressant for men, though I'd have to find a cite for that). The allegation that this is a multiple article POV campaign is itself POV by dint of only wanting to talk about what Canadian/US doctors are willing to prescribe it for. Not German doctors, not Russian doctors etc. (in Australia deca-durabolin is, for instance, prescribed as a male contraceptive, or was at any rate). Telling only one side of the story to the exclusion of others, now that's POV.Skookum1 (talk) 19:39, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm perfectly agree. Someone can not accept testosterone replacement therapy vs diseases like osteoporosis or diabetes mellitus, even if many scientific articles confirm that. I would like to see the citations of testosterone against depression (indeed depression is a symptom of hypogonadism) during sixties.--Testosterone vs diabetes (talk) 18:56, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know I saw it on a medical site long ago; it may be on http://www.andropause.com but there must be other literature on it out there, I'll see what turns up. Re osteoporosis one steroid definitely used in its treatment is oxymetholone (Anadrol), which I also remember big full-page ads in the Village Voice targeting AIDS patients re combatting muscle-wasting.....from Winthrop I think; that would have been around 1999-2000, which is when I was last in New York...Skookum1 (talk) 15:25, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In Italy testosterone and nandrolone are accreditated and labelled as anti-osteoporosis drugs too. Anyway good insertion! --158.194.199.13 (talk) 16:25, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
