Testosterone Suspension, 100mg (1 vial)

Mechanism of medicine action:

The effects of testosterone in humans and other vertebrates occur by way of two main mechanisms: by activation of the androgen receptor (directly or as DHT), and by conversion to estradiol and activation of certain estrogen receptors. Free testosterone (T) is transported into the cytoplasm of target tissue cells, where it can bind to the androgen receptor, or can be reduced to 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the cytoplasmic enzyme 5alpha-reductase. The areas of binding are called hormone response elements (HREs), and influence transcriptional activity of certain genes, producing the androgen effects.

Indications:

Testosterone Suspension is used in males that present conditions derived from a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone. These conditions are 1) primary hypogonadism, defined as the testicular failure due to cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion, orchitis, vanishing testis syndrome or orchidectomy; and 2) hypogonadotropic hypogonadism characterized by idiopathic gonadotropin, LHRH deficiency or pituitary-hypothalamic injury from tumors, trauma or radiation.

Contraindications:

The use of Testosterone Suspension is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to testosterone or its components, cases of prostate or breast cancer in males, severe liver or kidney dysfunction, and in pregnant or breastfeeding women, due to risks posed to fetal or infant health.

Precautions:

Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular diseases, liver or kidney dysfunction, sleep apnea, or those at risk for blood clots. Regular monitoring of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and hematocrit is essential.

Drug interactions:

Testosterone Suspension may interact with certain medications, including anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and antidiabetic agents, which could lead to altered drug effects or increased risks of adverse reactions.

Dosage:

The suggested dosage for Testosterone Suspension in adult males ranges from 50 to 100 mg administered intramuscularly 2 to 3 times per week, depending on the individual patient’s needs and response to therapy. In some cases, dosages may be adjusted based on serum testosterone levels and clinical response. It is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage regimen closely and not to alter the dose without consulting a healthcare provider
