Testosterone is a male hormone responsible for performing a huge number of functions, as well as a man’s appearance. Against the background of a deficiency of this main hormone, a huge number of pathologies develop with serious consequences, and the quality of life is significantly reduced, including in the sexual sphere.

Testosterone plays a major role in the development of the male sex glands (prostate and testicles), spermatogenesis, the formation of sexual desire and sexual characteristics. In addition, it regulates mood, participates in the metabolic process (primarily in weight regulation and muscle building), and higher brain functions (learning ability, thinking, memory) depend on the level of its content in the blood.

Reasons for decreased testosterone levels in men

Testosterone acts as a kind of protection the body from certain types of malignant neoplasms, diabetes, diseases of the cardiovascular system and osteoporosis. In women, testosterone is produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands, but its amount is much less than in a man's body. In the female body, testosterone is responsible for regulating the level of pituitary hormones and for the reverse development of follicles in the ovary. In men, the hormone is also produced in the adrenal cortex and testicles.

Why do testosterone levels decrease?

The main reasons for a decrease in the level of male hormone in the blood are the following:

Besides, male hormone deficiency can be caused by an unbalanced diet, abuse of beer, smoked meats and coffee. A sedentary lifestyle can lead to hormonal imbalances; at the same time, excessive physical activity also contributes to a decrease in testosterone levels.

Signs of testosterone deficiency

A decrease in the level of male sex hormone is manifested by characteristic symptoms. The main symptoms manifested in the body of an adult male may be the following:

The appearance of any/any of these symptoms should prompt a visit to the clinic. You should not ignore such disorders in the body, otherwise there is a huge risk of developing more serious consequences. The sooner a man turns to a specialist, the faster and easier the pathology will be treated.

Treatment

Treatment low testosterone levels is carried out using special medications, which are available in the form of ampoules for injections, gels, patches, capsules, tablets, as well as implants. It should be remembered that independent choice of medication and self-medication can cause serious health consequences. It is necessary to get rid of the problem under the strict guidance of doctors.

Medications to increase testosterone

Exists many medicines, which help accelerate testosterone production. In addition, the male hormone can be injected directly into the male body. Unlike synthetic anabolic steroids, the hormonal drug has a minimum of risks and contraindications.

Testosterone is available in the form of patches, gels, injection ampoules, and also in tablet form. Injectable drugs have a longer lasting effect.

Testosterone propionate

The most popular drug used to increase male hormone levels, is testosterone propionate. This synthetic drug has all the basic biological qualities of natural testosterone, but unlike the latter, it is more stable in the body. Thanks to this remedy, the men’s body retains the substances necessary for building muscle mass (sulfur, phosphorus and potassium).

Besides, testosterone propionate promotes improving protein synthesis and reducing body fat. Propionate is very popular among athletes and bodybuilders due to its instant action and equally rapid removal from the body, which is important when passing doping control. The main disadvantage of the drug is its short-term effect (injections must be performed every other day).

Medicines in tablet form showed the least effectiveness. This is explained by the fact that the drug administered in this way disintegrates too quickly in the body and practically does not remain at the required level. When using propionate, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the dosage, since exceeding the dose can cause a number of negative consequences: aggression, enlargement of the prostate and mammary glands, acne and baldness. In women, the clitoris enlarges and muscle mass increases, the voice becomes rough, and excessive body hair appears.

Trenbolone enanthate

This is another one anabolic steroid used mainly by athletes. Available in ampoules for injection. The action of the drug is aimed at enhancing the process of formation and growth of muscle structures. According to the manufacturers, enanthate does not have a negative effect on the liver and does not provoke sodium retention in the body, which helps avoid the appearance of edema.

Stanozolol

This is a steroid drug that previously actively used to prevent swelling, increase libido and growth of genital organs. Today, stanozolol is widely used in medical practice for the treatment of pathologies such as muscular dystrophy (an illness characterized by muscle weakness), exhaustion (cachexia), aplastic anemia, as well as for the purpose of restoring the body after radiation, burns or injuries. Athletes still use stanozolol to build muscle tissue. Treatment is combined with propionate, while synthetic steroids (turinabol, dianabol, baldenone) are taken at the same time.

Testosterone enanthate

Testosterone enanthate is one of the most famous anabolic steroids, which is a complex analogue of testosterone. This drug is very popular due to the fact that it does not require frequent administration (injections are given once every 2-3 weeks). Side effects:

To avoid the development of all of the above phenomena, testosterone enanthate is taken in combination with an aromatase inhibitor and gonadotropin. The use of these substances helps prevent the development of undesirable manifestations.

Testosterone undecaonate

A drug Available in the form of an oil solution, used for injection and also in tablet form. Moreover, testosterone undecaonate is most often used in injections. This is explained by the fact that in this way the drug is absorbed more efficiently and acts faster: the concentration of testosterone in a man’s blood increases the very next day after the injection. Nebido (another name for undeokanate) is also used to treat infertility in men.

Androgel

Available in gel form, which applied to the skin abdomen or inner forearms. For one-time application, use no more than 10 g. Androgel can be used for a long time, however, if irritation occurs on the skin, the drug must be discontinued.

Andriol

Available in the form of capsules or tablets for oral administration. The drug has minimal side effects and can be used at any age. Among the advantages of this drug, one can note the speed of action, as well as the fact that Andriol is not involved in suppressing the synthesis of its own hormone. It is often prescribed for endocrine impotence, the treatment of male infertility, as well as many other negative phenomena associated with testosterone deficiency.

Omnadren

A drug Available in solution form for injection, which is administered intramuscularly. The procedure is carried out once a month. Omnadren contains four types of testosterone, which increases potency and improves libido in men. The drug is often prescribed for male menopause, oligospermia, impotence and infertility. In women, Omnadren helps slow down the development of tumors in the ovaries, uterus and mammary glands.

Drugs that increase natural testosterone levels

Besides artificial male hormone contained in medications, there are many natural medicines that can increase the level of your own hormone. The most popular of them are the following:

Natural preparations most often used by athletes to achieve better results. In addition, high testosterone levels have a positive effect on a man’s mental abilities and life expectancy. Despite the fact that many drugs that increase testosterone levels can be freely purchased at the pharmacy, before using them you still need to consult with a specialist, this is especially important for men over 35 years of age. After all, any seemingly completely harmless drug can have a serious side effect.

Men taking such medications must periodically undergo medical tests, the purpose of which is to monitor testosterone levels, as well as monitor the condition of the patient's kidneys, liver and heart.

Given that compliance with all rules Taking drugs that increase testosterone, a man after 40 years will live a completely full life, including sexual life.

Testosterone is the main hormone in the male body and directly affects many body functions. Its insufficient quantity can lead to a number of negative consequences and significantly affect the quality of life. Normally, the concentration of this hormone in the blood of a healthy man should be at least 11-33 nnmol/l. When these indicators decrease, after a short period of time a man begins to feel a variety of signs of his insufficiency, and the lack of adequate adjustment and treatment can lead to the development of certain diseases.

To correct testosterone levels in the blood, medications may be prescribed that contain a synthetic analogue of this male sex hormone or components that stimulate its production. The modern pharmacological industry produces many such products that help men (in some cases they can also be prescribed to women) to raise its level to normal indications.

Drugs to increase testosterone levels have found their use in medicine and sports, but when using them, one basic rule must not be forgotten: only a doctor should prescribe them.

In our article we will introduce you to the signs and consequences of decreased testosterone levels and some pharmacological drugs for correcting such disorders.

Signs and consequences of low testosterone levels

Low testosterone levels affect a man's health at any age. A deficiency of this hormone can cause disturbances in the development of genital organs in a male fetus even in the prenatal period. In boys, low testosterone levels can cause delayed sexual development and insufficient expression of secondary sexual characteristics. Such adolescents experience insufficient muscle mass, underdevelopment of the genital organs and signs of gynecomastia. Along with this, the child experiences difficult experiences, withdraws and subsequently may suffer from many complexes.

In adult men, testosterone is actively involved in many metabolic processes and muscle building, affects sexual activity, affects immunity and brain function. It is the presence of this male sex hormone that forms the character qualities inherent in the male sex: determination, dominance, initiative, endurance to physical activity, etc.

With testosterone deficiency in an adult male, the following are observed:

• decreased libido;
• erectile dysfunction (up to impotence and infertility);
• replacement of muscle tissue with fat;
• gynecomastia;
• frequent fatigue;
• apathy;
• depression.

Timely identification of such signs and treatment will allow you to avoid the occurrence of more serious diseases and significantly improve your quality of life. To confirm a decrease in the level of this hormone, a man should contact an endocrinologist or andrologist and take a blood test to determine testosterone levels.

Review of drugs to stimulate the production of your own testosterone

Drugs to stimulate the production of your own testosterone are used to increase libido and build muscle mass in athletes. They consist of natural ingredients and stimulate the production of luteinizing hormone, which signals the testicles to stimulate testosterone production. Also, these drugs help improve vascular tone and normalize blood circulation in the pelvic organs.

The most popular testosterone production stimulants include the following drugs:

• Parity;
• Vitrix;
• Arimatest;
• Animal test;
• Cyclo-Bolan;
• Tribulus;
• Evo-Test.

Despite the fact that the above drugs are not hormonal, you should consult your doctor before using them, as they may also have a number of contraindications.

The success of therapy with drugs for testosterone hormone replacement therapy and drugs for stimulating the production of own testosterone largely depends on the correctness of their prescription and use. Patients who take them are advised to have regular tests to monitor hormone levels in the blood and see a doctor to evaluate the health of the heart, kidneys and liver. Self-medication with drugs to increase testosterone levels can lead to negative consequences and pose a significant health hazard. Remember this!

Testosterone in the male body is responsible for erectile function, the development of primary and secondary sexual characteristics, the formation of bone and muscle tissue, vitality and the stability of the psycho-emotional state. Its normal blood level for an adult male aged 18 to 50 years is 5.5-42 pg/ml. With a lack of the hormone, impotence, dystrophy, obesity and other dysfunctions of organs and systems can occur. To compensate for testosterone deficiency, its synthetic analogs are often prescribed in tablets, suspensions, oil solutions, and in the form of patches.

Description

All drugs for increasing the level of male sex hormone can be divided into hormonal drugs containing its synthetic analogue, and dietary supplements that stimulate its production.

As part of hormone replacement therapy, testosterone tablets are often prescribed. The tablet form of taking the drug has a number of advantages:

• There is no need for painful oil injections, which often result in abscesses at the injection site.
• The effect of tablets begins much faster than solutions - in just 20-30 minutes.
• You can control the effect of the hormone on the patient’s body. If side effects or an unpredictable negative reaction to the drug occurs, it can be quickly discontinued, while the effect of testosterone after the injection will continue for another 2-3 weeks.

The main disadvantage of tablets containing this hormone is the alkylation of the active substance on the 17-alpha group. This is necessary so that the substance is not destroyed during the initial passage through the liver. As a result, taking the medicine is accompanied by a pronounced load on this organ, often leading to its damage.

Popular oral medications

Testosterone tablets for men today are distributed mainly among adherents of sports such as powerlifting, bodybuilding, weightlifting and athletics (to a lesser extent). Treatment of impotence, anorexia, cancer and AIDS with the help of medications of this class is carried out less and less.

The most popular testosterone tablets are:

Name	Indications for use	Image
Methandrostenolone	The active substance (methandienone) has a pronounced anabolic and moderate androgenic effect. These properties of the drug are used to increase the rate of healing of burns and bone healing, combat erectile dysfunction, and improve the quality of life in cancer patients and AIDS patients. As a sports stimulant, the drug is popular among powerlifters, bodybuilders and weightlifters. Along with an increase in strength, methandienone provides a significant increase in weight, endurance and the speed of recovery of the body after physical activity. Instructions for use prescribe taking the drug in a dosage of 5 to 30 mg per day. In practice, it often happens that athletes increase the amount of the substance to 100 mg per day. It is the excess dosage that often causes side effects such as mechanical cirrhosis of the liver, gynecomastia, baldness, increased blood pressure, etc.
Oxandrolone	The value of the medicine and its popularity are due to the fact that it practically does not aromatize, that is, it does not turn into estrogens (female sex hormones). This property of the drug allows it to be used for the treatment of diseases caused by low testosterone levels in people for whom other analogues of male sex hormones are contraindicated. Oxandrolone tablets do not cause gynecomastia, water retention or increased blood pressure. The main disadvantage of the drug is that it is alkylated on the 17-alpha group, as a result of which it can be potentially dangerous to the liver. Athletes use this medicine in pre-competition preparation to increase strength and maintain muscle mass in combination with a low-carbohydrate diet. The recommended dosage is 20-80 mg per day. The drug is not produced in Russia
Methyltestosterone	Prescribed for delayed sexual development, prostate adenoma, breast and ovarian cancer, infantilism, growth retardation in children and adolescents, to alleviate menopause. Dosages range from 0.05 to 0.1 g per day. With prolonged use, it can lead to cirrhosis of the liver, obstructive jaundice, gynecomastia, high blood pressure, and acne. Despite the large number of side effects, methyltestosterone, due to its low price and effectiveness, is highly popular among athletes. It is used less and less in medicine, as safer analogues of synthetic testosterone appear.
Mesterolone (Proviron)	The medicine has exclusively androgenic properties. In terms of the potency of action, mesterolone is inferior to almost all known oral analogues of the male sex hormone, therefore it is rarely used for replacement therapy. In medicine, it is used mainly as part of complex treatment of infertility and improving sperm quality. The drug is popular among athletes due to its ability to inhibit the aromatization process of powerful anabolic steroids during a steroid cycle. In practice, this allows you to avoid gynecomastia, acne and many other problems. Due to the fact that the drug has a 17-alkyl group, it is toxic to the liver. Dosages used: 25-100 mg per day
Andriol	Of all the anabolic steroids on the market in tablet form, the drug is the safest, with the minimum number of side effects. In medicine it is mainly used to solve erection problems. Athletes use the medicine during pre-competition preparation to maintain achieved results. Andriol does not have a toxic effect on the liver, does not increase blood pressure and does not cause water retention in the body. It does not affect the production of the body’s own testosterone, which makes it stand out among other pharmaceutical drugs. For oral use, available in capsules and tablets

Drugs to increase testosterone in tablets have a pronounced effect on all systems of the body and, if used uncontrolled, can lead to serious disorders, including disability. For this reason, only a doctor should prescribe and monitor hormone replacement therapy.

Dietary supplements to increase testosterone in men

In most cases, dietary supplement tablets contain plant substances (steroid saponins, flavonoids, essential oils) that increase the production of your own sex hormone. The advantage of using natural drugs to increase testosterone is the absence of significant side effects and contraindications, as well as the ability to purchase the supplement without a prescription.

These substances are not medicines and, accordingly, have not undergone clinical trials. For this reason, their use is justified only for the prevention of male sex hormone deficiency. It is unacceptable to prescribe therapy for diseases of the endocrine system with dietary supplements.

The most popular natural drugs that can stimulate testosterone production include the following:

Together with supplements to increase testosterone, so-called boosters are widely used - plant substances that activate the production of your own sex hormone. Men who want to improve their quality of life use a combination of physical exercises, sports nutrition and boosters. This allows them not only to increase testosterone, but also to increase potency and build muscle mass.

Sooner or later, no matter how healthy a man is, age-related changes occur to him. Each individual has their own period of onset of changes. Typically, the average age is around 40, but it can start earlier or later depending on the man's health and the lifestyle he leads. Next, we will try to answer the troubling questions of hormonal therapy, and tell you about the types of hormonal drugs for men.

Modern means of self-defense are an impressive list of items that differ in their operating principles. The most popular are those that do not require a license or permission to purchase and use. IN online store Tesakov.com, You can buy self-defense products without a license.

From about 25 years of age, the level of testosterone produced by the male body begins to decline (1-1.5% per year). At a young age, such losses are insignificant and the man does not notice them. But every year the level of hormones in the male body drops steadily and by the age of 40-45 is approximately 25-30% lower than at a young age. Changes in hormonal balance are an irreversible aging process and cannot be reversed.

When are hormonal drugs prescribed?

The hormonal drug is prescribed by a doctor, based on tests - they must confirm. In addition to tests, the doctor must verify the presence of symptoms in the form of patient complaints of decreased sexual desire and performance, fatigue, weakness, bad mood, excess weight gain and other symptoms of low testosterone. Depending on the degree of hormonal deficiency, the doctor prescribes the medicine and dosage necessary to eliminate androgen deficiency.

Hormonal drugs are also prescribed for correction in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Androgens can be included in an additional course of treatment and used together with, or represent an independent course of treatment if the problem of ED is associated primarily with a decrease in sex hormones.

Types of hormonal drugs for men

Hormonal drugs are sold in tablets, capsules, gels, patches, subcutaneous implants, and injections. Each method of hormone administration has its own characteristics.

Testosterone capsules and tablets

Capsules and tablets are well absorbed by the body, but the rapid release period does not allow maintaining stable testosterone levels, which leads to the need for frequent use of the drug.

Testosterone undecanoate – Andriol 30 caps. 40 mg – 1200-1300 rub. Andriol is a preoral testosterone preparation that is absorbed from the digestive tract into the lymph, while bypassing the liver. When taking the drug, it is difficult to achieve a stable concentration, because testosterone levels change abruptly: a sharp increase in the level of the hormone during absorption and a decrease during excretion. In the body, testosterone undecanoate is converted into the active form of testosterone - dihydrotestosterone. Andriol benefits: does not have a toxic effect on the liver; not subject to aromatization - the conversion of testosterone into estrogen; does not inhibit its own androgen production (with moderate dosages); no significant side effects. Disadvantages of Andriol: has low bioavailability; requires daily use; high price. Application: androgen deficiency; eunuchoidism; decreased libido; decreased mental and physical activity; mild forms of hypogonadism; delayed puberty in boys.

Methyltestosterone Methyltestosterone is one of the very first synthetic testosterone preparations. Currently, the drug is banned for a number of indications (it has a strong toxic effect on the liver) in many countries around the world.

Testosterone gels and ointments

Gels and ointments are quickly absorbed, maintain the required level of testosterone well, but require constant use, which does not exclude skin irritation (quite rare).

Testosterone patches

Testosterone injections

One of the most common forms of testosterone administration for androgen deficiency. There are traditional injections (in the form of frequent use) and extended-release injections (one injection is enough for a long period). Long-acting injections are preferable, since they do not give such a sharp surge of the hormone, being released gradually and over a long period of time (up to 3 months). One of these long-acting injectable drugs based on testosterone undecanoate is Nebido, intended for intramuscular administration. Other injectable drugs: testosterone depot, sustanon-250, testenate, etc.

Subcutaneous implant

A subcutaneous implant in the form of a cylinder is inserted under the skin under local anesthesia in the abdominal area. A certain dose, determined by the attending physician, is gradually released into the body. This implant allows you to maintain the required level of testosterone for 4-6 months. The disadvantage of this therapy is surgical intervention with characteristic complications (bruising, rejection).

Possible side effects of hormone therapy:

• increased risk of developing prostate cancer;
• acne and oily skin;
• inhibition of the function of one’s own production of hormones and sperm.

To avoid possible side effects, testosterone hormone therapy should be under medical supervision. Only a doctor can prescribe the required dose and method of administration of the drug. Do not self-medicate under any circumstances, relying on information received from various sources.

Add a comment

Testosterone is the main male hormone that plays a very important role in the body. If its quantity is insufficient, negative consequences are possible, which will subsequently affect the life and health of a man. Pills that increase testosterone in men are usually prescribed by a doctor after examining the patient.

The normal concentration of testosterone in the blood is 1-33 nmol/l. When the level decreases, after some time the man feels various consequences of its deficiency, and the lack of treatment and adjustment of the hormone level leads to some diseases.

What does testosterone affect and why increase it?

Modern pharmacology produces many products that increase testosterone levels. These are various capsules, injections and tablets for raising testosterone.

This hormone has 2 main functions in the male body:

• androgenic, responsible for the normal functioning of the male genital organs, secondary characteristics and libido;
• anabolic, affects the synthesis of proteins and the building of muscle mass in a man, the formation of bones and skeleton.

This hormone is produced in the male body in the area of ​​the adrenal glands and testicles and affects the correct proportional formation of a man’s figure, effective growth of facial hair, the functioning of all genital organs and, ultimately, sexual desire.

When there are disturbances in the functioning of male organs, the production of this hormone decreases, which usually affects some health indicators:

• in teenagers- decreased and delayed development, insufficient growth of the genital organs, while the child often has a hard time experiencing his problems, which simultaneously leads to the development of many complexes and stress in him;
• in adult men- infertility, decreased sperm count, deterioration in the quality of seminal fluid, osteoporosis and impotence, effects on metabolic processes, immunity and even the functioning of brain cells.

Even with any decrease in libido in men (if the cause is unknown), this usually becomes a cause for concern on his part.

Attention! To determine testosterone levels, it is enough to go to a laboratory for analysis; consultation on the normal level of the hormone can be carried out by an endocrinologist.

The best testosterone pills for men: selection

When a doctor finds any abnormalities in testosterone levels, he most often prescribes pills to increase testosterone in men. There are 2 main types of such tablets:

• synthetic- synthesized chemically in the laboratory (this type usually has not very high digestibility by the male body); the synthetic type increases the level of the hormone for a maximum of 24 hours, but has side reactions: increased cholesterol levels in the blood, swelling and high blood pressure, nervousness and aggression, muscle spasms;
• natural- made from plants (legumes or soybeans).

Testosterone tablets are prescribed by a doctor (or) after research and tests for the hormone. As a rule, tablets are taken after meals (it is recommended to eat food during treatment that is not too fatty, so as not to interfere with the absorption of the drug into the lymph) twice a day for a course of 2-4 weeks.

Let's look at which tablets increase testosterone and are available for sale in pharmacies:

1. Methyltestosterone- the first drug in the form of tablets obtained by modifying the hormone molecule. The difficulty in making pills to increase testosterone is that the hormone, when absorbed by the body and passing through the liver, is destroyed by liver enzymes. This drug was created to treat breast cancer in women, but due to side effects on the liver it is not widely used.
2. Andriol(Testosterone Undecanoate) - testosterone in tablets and capsules, made on the basis of the previous drug, but improved to reduce the toxic effect on the liver. Its action is based on absorption into the lymph before the substance enters the liver; it does not contribute to the accumulation of fluid in tissues and does not affect the body’s own production of the hormone. Adverse reactions (swelling and inhibition of the patient’s own hormone production) are reduced. This drug is successfully used to treat infertility and impotence in men and other diseases.
3. Mesterolone(Proviron, Vistinon, etc.) - it is not destroyed in the liver, it is not subject to aromatization, therefore it is recommended for obese patients with increased estrogen activity. In other situations, other drugs (Adriol) with a broader effect are usually prescribed.

In addition to drugs containing testosterone itself, there are also herbal preparations used to increase the level of this hormone produced in a man’s body:

• Tribestan- a plant testosterone inducer (contains Tribulus terrestris extract), the drug is used to produce testosterone, prescribed as a means of influencing the reproductive and urinary systems in men and women, in the treatment of infertility. This drug stimulates the endocrine glands of men, which usually secrete testosterone, which helps normalize hormonal levels, increases bone strength, regulating calcium metabolism
• Testogenone- capsules containing a natural complex (L-arginine, pygeum and yohimbe bark extract, ginseng root, vitamins, etc.), which stimulate the level of production of the male body’s own testosterone, raising it to a healthy level, are used to increase potency and reproductive health. The medicine is also prescribed after suffering from infectious and inflammatory diseases and in order to prevent exposure to harmful environmental conditions.
• Tribulus- capsules containing extract of the Tribulus terretstris plant normalizes the production of hormones by the pituitary gland, helping to restore the balance and synthesis of estrogen, testosterone and progesterone.

Such herbal preparations are actively used by athletes to gain muscle mass, and not just as a medicine.

Carefully! All medications can be used only after consulting a doctor, who will prescribe the necessary testosterone tablets and indicate in what dosage they can be taken.

Symptoms of diseases for which tablets are prescribed:

• delayed sexual development and maturation;
• eunuchodism;
• oligospermia with impaired sperm production;
• impotence of endocrine origin;
• decreased physical and mental activity, decreased erection and libido;
• complex therapy of osteoporosis with hormone deficiency;
• post-castration syndrome;
• as a replacement for hormone therapy for male menopause or infertility during spermatogenesis (doses of the drug are selected by the doctor and depend on the age and health of the man).

Important! Pills containing testosterone, as a rule, do not have an anabolic effect, i.e. they cannot be used by bodybuilding athletes to build muscle.

Contraindications and adverse reactions

Contraindicated in the following patient diseases:

• heart or coronary failure;
• hypercalcemia or nephrosis (kidney disease);
• diabetes;
• disturbances in liver function;
• for epilepsy, migraines, high blood pressure, it is necessary to constantly be under the supervision of a doctor throughout the entire course of treatment.

Adverse reactions:

• seborrhea (flaking of the skin on the scalp);
• frequent erections, increased libido;
• pimples, rashes, acne;
• allergic reactions of the body;
• swelling;
• dizziness and nausea, etc.

Carefully! When treating with Testosterone tablets, drinking alcohol-containing drinks, which greatly reduce its effect, is completely prohibited.

Is it possible to buy testosterone tablets without a prescription?

When asked by men where to buy pills to increase testosterone, the answer is clear: at the pharmacy. Here are some prices:

• Andriol - price in Russian pharmacies is about 1200 rubles. (sold by prescription)
• Tribestan - 2000 rub. (sold without a prescription)
• Testogenone - 800 rub. (over the counter)

Where is the best place to buy testosterone?

Many drugs containing testosterone are sold in online pharmacies, but purchasing them does not guarantee the quality of the product, so it is better to use pharmaceutical drugs or sports nutrition stores that are already known for selling high-quality drugs.

You need to increase it carefully

Considering the large number of negative reactions and possible side effects of such drugs that increase the level of male hormones, it is better to take them under the close supervision of a doctor and periodic testing, so that later you do not have to treat additionally damaged liver and kidneys.
