Product Description
Uses
This medication is used in men who do not make enough of a natural substance called testosterone.

How To Use
Take this medication by mouth, usually twice daily with breakfast and with an evening meal, or as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the capsules whole. Do not chew or open the capsules. Doing so can change how well the medication works.
Dosage is based on your medical condition, testosterone blood levels, and response to treatment.

Do not suddenly stop using testosterone if you have been using it regularly for an extended time or if it has been used in high doses. In such cases, your body will no longer make its own testosterone, and withdrawal reactions (such as tiredness, weakness, depression) may occur. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions right away.
