Hi

Testoviron-Depot may only be used to treat confirmed cases of diminished testicular function which is clinically proven by abnormal hormone levels and also after exclusion of other causes.

In proven case of hormonal deficiency,the hormone will not cause impotency when the drug levels are titrated according to your changing hormone levels.Tiredness, back and joint pain and injection site reactions are the usual side effects.

1 ampoule of 250 mg is usually administered by intramuscular injection at intervals of 2-3 weeks for initial treatment of deficits with respect to male hypogonadism.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
Dr.Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
