TESTOSTERONE UNDECANOATE - ORAL

(tess-TOSS-ter-own un-deck-ah-NO-ate)

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Jatenzo, Kyzatrex, Tlando

WARNING: This medication can raise your blood pressure. High blood pressure can increase your risk of serious (even fatal) heart and blood vessel problems (such as heart attack, stroke). Your risk may be greater if you have heart disease or if you have other conditions that increase your risk, such as high blood pressure. Check your blood pressure regularly and tell your doctor if the results are high. Your doctor may prescribe medication(s) to control your blood pressure, or may decrease or stop this medication. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking testosterone.

USES: This medication is used by men who have low or no testosterone due to certain medical conditions (such as hypogonadism). Testosterone belongs to a class of drugs known as androgens. It helps the body to develop and maintain male sexual characteristics (masculinity), such as a deep voice and body hair. It also helps to maintain muscle and prevent bone loss, and is needed for natural sexual ability/desire. This medication should not be used in women.

HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking/using testosterone and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Take this medication by mouth with food as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily. Some brands should not be chewed and should be swallowed whole for the best effect. Carefully follow your doctor\'s directions for taking your brand of this medication. The dosage is based on your medical condition, lab tests, and response to treatment. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. Misuse or abuse of testosterone can cause serious side effects such as heart disease (including heart attack), stroke, liver disease, mental/mood problems, abnormal drug-seeking behavior, or improper bone growth (in adolescents). Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. If testosterone is misused or abused, you may have withdrawal symptoms (such as depression, irritability, tiredness) when you suddenly stop using the drug. These symptoms may last from weeks to months. Tell your doctor if your condition does not get better or if it gets worse.

SIDE EFFECTS: See also Warning section. Nausea, vomiting, headache, skin color changes, increased/decreased sexual interest, oily skin, hair loss, and acne may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: mental/mood changes (such as anxiety, depression, increased anger), trouble sleeping/snoring (including sleep apnea), signs of liver disease (such as nausea/vomiting that doesn\'t stop, loss of appetite, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine), hands/ankles/feet swelling, unusual tiredness, fast/irregular heartbeat, trouble urinating, increased urination (especially at night), breast swelling/tenderness, too frequent/prolonged erections.

Rarely, males may have a painful or prolonged erection lasting 4 or more hours. If this occurs, stop using this drug and get medical help right away, or permanent problems could occur. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
