Testolido 250 Injection

Overview

Testolido 250 Injection includes Testosterone Undecanoate at 250 mg/ml, an injectable that has a long-acting version of testosterone. It’s primarily used for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for males with a low or absence of endogenous testosterone because of hypogonadism or another medical issue.

Testosterone is the principal male sex hormone, which is responsible for the maintenance and growth of sexual traits that are male-specific, such as reproductive tissues, bones, mass of muscle, and general well-being. Testolido 250 provides a sustained testosterone release, which ensures the stability of blood levels throughout several weeks following injection.

Composition

• Each 1 ml vial contains:
  Testosterone Undecanoate 250 mg
• Excipients and vehicles specifically designed for use in injectable form.

Mechanism of Action

Testosterone Undecanoate is an esterified testosterone formula that, after intramuscular injection, slows down the release of testosterone into the bloodstream. It extends the testosterone half-life, which means that injections are less frequent in comparison to the testosterone esters with shorter duration of action.

When testosterone is released, it is able to bind androgen receptors within targeted tissues, which regulate gene expression in order to enhance testosterone production in males, as well as anabolic effects on muscles and bone, and a variety of different physiological functions.

Indications

• Treatment for male hypogonadism (primary or secondary) in which testosterone deficiency has been verified by laboratory and clinical tests.
• Disorders that can be caused by testosterone deficiency. Examples include late puberty or certain forms of impermanence (only in cases of the deficiency of testosterone).
• Therapy for men suffering from lower testosterone levels because of the pituitary gland or a testicular disorder.

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dose: 250 mg (1 ml) intramuscularly for 10-14 weeks.
• The frequency and dose can be adjusted according to the clinical response as well as serum testosterone levels.
• Inject the medicine deeply into the gluteal muscles (buttocks).
• Be sure to use the proper technique for injection and follow aseptic procedures.

• Prostate Health: Keep track of PSA and conduct periodic digital rectal examinations to detect prostate cancer.
• Polycythemia: Testosterone is known to boost the number of red blood cells, which increases the chances of blood clots.
• Liver Function: In rare instances, injectable and oral testosterone may cause issues with the liver. It is important to monitor the liver function test.
