New Treatment For Low Testosterone Protects Fertility

April 14, 2011 - PRLog -- NEW TREATMENT FOR LOW TESTOSTERONE PROTECTS FERTILITY
PAYERS ENDORSE ANDROXAL AS AN EFFECTIVE OPTION

CHATAM, NJ – Reimbursement Intelligence recently put together a market research report in which they interviewed Medical and Pharmacy Directors representing a diverse sample of health plans and covering over 206 million lives.
   The report measured payer response to the product Androxal, an orally active drug currently in development by Repros Therapeutics. The product, which has not yet been approved, normalizes testosterone in men. Along with product efficacy, payers were also surveyed on the product versus the current standard of care.
Results showed payers reacted positively toward Androxal. The vast majority of participants, 84 percent, stated that Androxal filled an unmet need in Testosterone replacement. Additionally, 94 percent stated that they would add Androxal to their formulary.
Payers not only responded well to the product’s effectiveness but also enjoyed that it is the only drug for low testosterone that is taken orally and has no black box warning. They also recognized the benefits of Androxal because it does not require chronic use and is the only product for low testosterone that protects fertility.  
“For men with low testosterone who wish to protect their fertility payers felt Androxal provided an efficacious and safe treatment option,” says Rhonda Greenapple, President and Founder of Reimbursement Intelligence.
