Trump officials want to make testosterone drugs easier to prescribe. Is that a good idea?
Trump officials, including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, are advocating for easier access to testosterone prescriptions, citing potential benefits for men's health and military performance. The FDA recently removed a heart risk warning for testosterone treatments and proposed expanding their use to address age-related symptoms, though experts caution about misdiagnosis risks and the lack of scientific support for testosterone as an 'elixir' for vitality.
