In a normal male, testosterone stimulates the production of erythrocytes because it favors the synthesis of erythropoiesis-stimulating factors.

Therapeutic indications:

Congenital or acquired primary hypogonadism, when there is testicular failure due to cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion, testicular absence syndrome or orchiectomy. Hypogonadrotrophic hypogonadism: when there is congenital or acquired LH-RH (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone) deficiency or hypothalamic-pituitary damage due to surgery, trauma, tumors or radiation. Delayed puberty, when there is a familial pattern of delayed puberty, not secondary to a pathological disorder, in patients who have not responded to supportive psychological therapy.

Male climacteric: as restorative therapy in impotence or other symptoms associated with this disorder, when the etiology is due to a verified androgen deficiency. Severe malnutrition, myelofibrous aplastic anemia, myelosclerosis, agnogenic myeloid metaplasia, hypoplastic anemias caused by malignancy or myelotoxic drugs. Inoperable breast carcinoma in women with hormone-responsive tumors or those who have demonstrated a previous response to hormone therapy.

Adverse reactions:

The following reactions require medical supervision:

Virilization and menstrual irregularities in women, bladder irritability, gynecomastia, anaphylaxis, edema, erythrocytosis, gastrointestinal irritation, hypercalcemia and polycythemia, androgenic alopecia, seborrhea and acne in men and women.

Carcinoma of prostatic hypertrophy and increased sexual desire develop in patients. These are adverse reactions of rare incidence during long-term or high-dose therapy. Hepatic necrosis, leukopenia, hepatic purpura.

Other adverse reactions are:

constipation, nausea, diarrhoea, infection, redness, pain or irritation at the injection site, changes in libido, stomach pain, sleep difficulties, impotence, testicular atrophy, headaches, anxiety, depression, generalized paraesthesia, sleep apnoea sleep, skin irritation on the skin.

Contraindications:

It is contraindicated in patients with breast cancer (male), diagnosed or suspected prostate cancer or adenoma, severe hepatic or renal heart failure in prepubertal or aggressive individuals, pregnancy.

Posology:

Hypogonadism, menopause and impotence (male replacement therapy): 60- 400 mg. I.M. every 2 to 4 weeks.

Male delayed puberty (replacement therapy): 25 to 200 mg. Every 2 to 4 weeks, for a period usually limited to 6 months.

Antineoplastic, in inoperable sinus cancer (female): 200 to 400 mg. I.M. every 2 to 4 weeks.

Precautions and Warnings:

In the palliative treatment of sinus cancer, do not continue the therapy if after 3 months the disease resumes or if hypocalcemia was verified in any phase of the same. Androgen therapy in women, even if it is of short duration, can produce virilization, particularly vocal and hairy.

Androgen therapy is not recommended to improve athletic performance. In children, this medication should be used with caution due to adverse effects on the process of bone maturation, which can be accelerated without producing compensatory gain in linear growth.

When male patients over 50 years old are treated with androgens, there is a greater risk of prostate enlargement or the development of prostate cancer. For this reason, prostate and blood tests are often performed before prescribing androgens for men of this age. During long-term treatment, oligospermia, azoospermia or reduced sperm function may occur, resulting in a possible infertility, with spontaneous remission after treatment suspension. Patients with acute prostatic hypertrophy may develop acute urethral obstruction, requiring immediate withdrawal of medication.

Urinary serum calcium levels should be frequently determined in women with metastatic sinus carcinoma under testosterone treatment. During treatment with prepubertal minors, bone radiographs should be performed every 6 months. In patients with acute intermittent porphyria, androgens can precipitate attacks of this condition.

It is usually preferable to start the treatment with full doses and adjust later to individual characteristics.

Drug Interaction:

The Testoland – Depot can react with the following drugs:

Adeno, glyco or mineralcorticoids: Corticotropin, foods or medicines that contain sodium (may increase the risk of edema, predispose to acne).

Oral antidiabetics or insulin because I could have reduced serum glucose levels.

Somatropin.

Hepatotoxic drugs (hepatotoxicity is increased).

Overdosing:

Frequent doses can trigger symptoms of slow remission, as it is a long-acting medication. It is recommended to suspend the medication immediately.
