This medication may interfere with certain lab tests (such as thyroid function tests), possibly causing false test results. Because of the possible risk to the infant, breastfeeding is not recommended while using this drug. Discuss the use of reliable forms of birth control (such as condoms, birth control pills) with your doctor.

General comments on hormone level interpretation

In Penaeus indicus, testosterone at 2.5 mg/kg diet induced growth (Vatheeswaran and Ali, 1986). It works by affecting many body systems so that the body can develop and function normally. The goal of masculinizing hormone therapy is the development of male secondary sex characteristics, and suppression/minimization of female secondary sex characteristics. Sexual and gonadal effects include an increase in libido, clitoral growth, vaginal dryness, and cessation of menses. The general approach involves the use of one of several forms of parenteral testosterone.

Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from androgens, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. This drug has not been shown to be safe and effective for the enhancement of athletic performance. Because of the potential risk of serious adverse health effects, this drug should not be used for such purpose. Testosterone in plasma is 98 percent bound to a specific testosterone-estradiol binding globulin, and about 2 percent is free. Generally, the amount of this sex-hormone binding globulin in the plasma will determine the distribution of testosterone between free and bound forms, and the free testosterone concentration will determine its half-life. The androgens are steroids that develop and maintain primary and secondary male sex characteristics.

Consult your doctor, practitioner, and/or pharmacist for any health problem and before using any supplements or before making any changes in prescribed medications. PATH formed in 2010 to help the clinical, medical, and public health communities improve patient care through more accurate and reliable hormone tests. PATH supports research that improves the diagnosis and treatment of hormone disorders, including a landmark 2017 study that defines the “normal” range of steroids testosterone in young adult men.

Nonetheless, in response to these anecdotal reports, Salmon and Geist (1943) directly investigated the ability of supraphysiological amounts of testosterone (20–75mg/week) to increase sexual desire in pre- and postmenopausal women. They found that testosterone therapy successfully increased sexual desire in all of their female participants, but that testosterone in combination with estradiol was more effective at increasing sexual desire in postmenopausal women than was testosterone alone. Despite the supraphysiological doses of testosterone they administered and their lack of placebo controls, Salmon and Geist (1943) inspired an early interest in testosterone as a treatment for low libido in women that continues to this day.
