Product Description
The Testosterone Blend comprises various testosterone esters, containing testosterone in four forms: testosterone decanoate, testosterone propionate, testosterone phenylpropionate, and testosterone isocaproate.
Testosterone, a natural male hormone categorized within the androgen hormones group, plays a vital role in the normal growth, development, and functioning of male genital organs, as well as in the development of secondary male characteristics.
Utilized in men to replace testosterone and address health issues stemming from testosterone deficiency (male hypogonadism), diagnosis should include two separate blood testosterone measurements alongside clinical symptoms such as impotence, infertility, low sexual desire, fatigue, depression, and bone loss due to decreased testosterone levels.
Contraindications
- Allergy to testosterone or any component of this medication.
- Androgen-dependent prostate or breast cancer.

- Individuals under 18 years of age.
Dosage and Side Effects
Typically administered as a 1 ml injection every 3 weeks, the appropriate dose is determined by the doctor, with lower doses for elderly male patients.
The injection, administered slowly into the muscle, requires caution to prevent entry into a blood vessel. Ampoule contents can be used multiple times if sealed properly after the first injection.
Regular plasma testosterone concentration measurements by the doctor are essential. Adjustments to injection intervals are made based on these concentrations, either shortening or lengthening the interval as needed.
Should the effect of Testosterone Blend seem too strong or weak, consultation with the doctor is recommended.
While Testosterone Blend may induce side effects, they are not experienced by everyone. Common effects include acne and injection site discomfort.
Frequent side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 individuals) encompass elevated red blood cell levels, weight gain, increased prostate-specific antigen, enlarged prostate size, injection site reactions, increased red blood cell count detected in periodic blood tests, and increased frequency of erections.
