I was contacted today by a mom who's doctor's first choice of medication
for her vaginal condition is Testosterone 2% cream, applied BID for 2-3
months.  She is currently nursing a 2yr old boy
"frequently".  Mom is wondering if anyone has experience with this med.
How much absorption from the topical application, and if it might have
any effect on breastfeeding or the child?

I didn't find much searching the archives, and I didn't find it in Hale.

Thanks,   Judy Hulse, RN, IBCLC   Lynnwood, WA
