Mesterolone

Mesterolone is a hormonal preparation used to treat androgen deficiency and hypogonadism. This medicine is available in tablet form and should be used according to the doctor's prescription. Mesterolone can only be used in adult men.

Mesterolone works like an androgen hormone that is produced naturally by the body. Androgens are hormones that are useful for triggering puberty in men, maintaining the function of the male reproductive organs, supporting bone and muscle growth, and maintaining the body's metabolism.

Mesterolone can improve the symptoms of androgen deficiency or hypogonadism in adult men, such as decreased sexual desire, impotence, breast enlargement , and depression. This medicine can also increase fertility in men who suffer from infertility due to androgen deficiency.

How to Consume Mesterolone Correctly

Follow the doctor's instructions and read the information on the packaging of mesterolone before using it. Do not change the dose of the medicine without the doctor's approval.

Swallow the tablet whole with water. This medicine can be consumed before or after meals.

Try to always consume mesterolone at the same time every day so that the treatment effect is maximal. If you can't, make sure there is enough time between one dose and the next.

If you forget to take mesterolone, take this medicine as soon as you remember. However, if the next schedule is close, ignore the missed dose and do not double the next dose.

Do routine check-ups with the doctor so that the patient's condition and response to medication can be monitored. While using mesterolone, patients may be asked to undergo routine blood tests and prostate examinations.

Check your blood pressure regularly while using this medicine, as mesterolone can increase blood pressure. Tell your doctor if your blood pressure is much higher than usual.
