However, in the 100-mg dose group, 2.3% and 2.8% of patients had a clinically notable increase in hemoglobin (≥ 19 g/dL) or hematocrit (≥ 58%), respectively, compared to 1.0% and 1.5% of patients in the placebo group, respectively. In one foreign Phase 3 trial, one subject discontinued due to a skin-related adverse reaction. In this clinical trial of TESTIM, 6 patients had adverse reactions that led to their discontinuation.
This medication is absorbed through the skin, enters your bloodstream, and helps your body reach normal testosterone levels. Of 192 hypogonadal men who were appropriately titrated with Testim® and who had sufficient data for analysis, 74% achieved an average serum testosterone level within the normal range on treatment Day 90. During the first 60 days, patients were evenly randomized to Testim® 50 mg, Testim® 100 mg, placebo gel, or testosterone transdermal system. Testim® was evaluated in a randomized multicenter, multi-dose, active and placebo controlled 90-day study in 406 adult males with morning testosterone levels ≤300 ng/dL. In patients treated with Testim® there are no observed differences in the average daily serum testosterone concentration at steady-state based on age or cause of hypogonadism.
Structural impairments observed in females included increased anogenital distance, phallus development, empty scrotum, no external vagina, intrauterine growth retardation, reduced ovarian reserve, and increased ovarian follicular recruitment. Cases of secondary exposure to testosterone have been reported in children. In addition to discontinuation of the drug, diuretic therapy may be required. Due to lack of controlled evaluations in women and potential virilizing effects, TESTIM is not indicated for use in women see CONTRAINDICATIONS and Use In Specific Populations. However, testosterone levels may be in the normal or subnormal range in men abusing synthetic testosterone derivatives.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. This is not a complete list of possible side effects. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. If this occurs, stop using this drug and get medical help right away, or permanent problems could occur. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medications. Symptoms of low blood sugar include shakiness, nervousness, rapid pulse, and sweating.
If the serum testosterone concentration is below the normal range (300 ng/dL to 1,000 ng/dL), the daily TESTIM dose may be increased from 50 mg testosterone (one tube) to 100 mg testosterone (two tubes) once daily. Priorto initiatingTESTIM, confirm the diagnosis of hypogonadism by ensuring that serum testosterone concentrations have been measured in the morning on at least two separate days and that these serum testosterone concentrations are below the normal range. Our Testim 1% (testosterone gel) Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication. Estrogens can reduce the effects of testosterone by increasing the hepatic production and in turn circulating levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), a carrier protein that binds to and occupies androgens like testosterone and DHT, and thereby reducing free concentrations of these androgens.
Testosterone deficiency (also termed hypotestosteronism or hypotestosteronemia) is an abnormally low testosterone production. Decline of testosterone production with age has led to interest in testosterone supplementation. In 2023, it was the 119th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 5 million prescriptions. Testosterone can be administered through several different routes, including topical gels or patches, nasal sprays, subdermal implants, or tablets dissolved inside the mouth.
Nonetheless, patients should be instructed to report any signs or symptoms of hepatic dysfunction (e.g., jaundice). Anabolic androgenic steroid abuse can lead to serious cardiovascular and psychiatric adverse reactions see Drug Abuse And Dependence. Testosterone has been subject to abuse, typically at doses higher than recommended for the approved indication and in combination with other anabolic androgenic steroids. If a venous thromboembolic event is suspected, discontinue treatment with TESTIM and initiate appropriate workup and management see ADVERSE REACTIONS. Evaluate patients who report symptoms of pain, edema, warmth and erythema in the lower extremity for DVT and those who present with acute shortness of breath for PE. If hematocrit becomes elevated, stop therapy until hematocrit decreases to an acceptable concentration. It would also be appropriate to re-evaluate the hematocrit 3 to 6 months after starting treatment, and then annually.
