ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / June 12, 2019 / Aytu BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ: AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs, today announced that Natesto® has been featured on KPRC-TV, an NBC-affiliated television station in Houston, Texas, in a segment titled: ‘Nasal spray for low testosterone preserves fertility.’

The video segment and article notes:
Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, Director of Reproductive Urology at the University of Miami Health System, said, ‘At least one in three men between the ages of 32 to 50 appear to have low testosterone.’ Ramasamy said factors such as stress, obesity, and poor sleep habits may be to blame. Symptoms include ‘low energy, fatigue, improper sleep, weight gain, erectile dysfunction or lack of libido,’ Ramasamy explained.
Dr. Ramasamy said testosterone therapies like injections and gels have one major side effect. ‘All of these treatments will actually block hormones from the pituitary gland,’ Ramasamy stated. Now a treatment called Natesto, applied through the nose, is offering younger patients another option.
‘Because this is used two to three times a day and it’s short-acting, it still preserves your hormones from the pituitary gland and therefore maintains your sperm production,’ Ramasamy stated. He said so far, patients enrolled in a University of Miami study have preserved their fertility and feel great! Ramasamy continued, ‘They are able to lose weight, get back to the gym. Obviously, their sex life has improved.’
