Taking Estrogen-methyltestosterone Tablets For Low Libido. Weight Gain, Breast Pain. Other Medicine?

My wife has been taking (estrogen-methyltestos f.s tab) for 2/1/2 months to help with her with her very low labeto. It is not working! is there a generic name for this med? Put it this way, she has gained 40lbs and her breast hurt all the time. its not worth it for her. I dont care that she gaines the wait but it all seems to be for nothing. Our age is her 55, me 52. Is there anything else???

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Estrogen + mthytestosterone , just for libido.
The side effects of estrogen are as, tender breast, weight gain, fluid retention and depression.
In my opinion at the age of 55 years , she shouldn't take these hormones.
Good luck.
