Could Estrodiol/prog/dhea Revive Sex Drive In A Female Of 65 Yrs?

My wife just got a prescription for estradiol/prog/dhea 0.5 mg daily to increase her sex drive. She is 65 yrs old and used to use Testosterone 0.5 mg daily and she was very sexually active but since her blood thickened the Dr took her off it and her sex drive has diminished severely. So this Dr said this prescription would revive her sex drive. I this true? what are the side effects??

Hello
I hope this will improve her sex drive . Please screen her through Hamilton's Anxiety and Hamilton's Depression Rating scales to see if that fits her. These are the commonest cause of reduced sex derive.
