special instructions
Methyltestosterone is a dangerous drug with an impressive list of contraindications. This drug has a toxic effect on the liver and can cause problems with the functioning of this organ.
The drug is the oldest anabolic steroid. However, it should not be taken to gain muscle mass due to its harmful effects on the body. Modern anabolic steroids are safer and less likely to lead to complications.
Methyltestosterone is used only for treatment as prescribed by a doctor. The product is prohibited for use to improve erection or increase libido. The drug should not be taken by men with normal testosterone production. In this case, an excess of the hormone supplied with the tablets can lead to the development of erectile dysfunction and alopecia due to an increase in the rate of dihydrotestosterone synthesis.
The most dangerous complication when taking Methyltestosterone is the development of prostate cancer. This tumor is hormone-dependent and may be a consequence of high testosterone levels while taking the medication.
Before starting treatment, it is necessary to undergo a comprehensive examination. Men need, first of all, to exclude prostate cancer, since taking synthetic testosterone for hormone-dependent tumors in men leads to a rapid growth of malignant neoplasms. To exclude prostate pathologies, it is necessary to take a PSA blood test. This test is recommended every month during hormone replacement therapy.
Women should exclude pregnancy before starting treatment with the drug.
The drug is prescribed with caution for high blood pressure, since under the influence of testosterone there is fluid retention and an even greater increase in pressure. The medicine is not prescribed for prostate adenoma.
The use of Methyltestosterone for gaining muscle mass is absolutely unjustified
Contraindications
Before starting to take Methyltestosterone, the instructions for use should be carefully studied. The medicine has a number of contraindications that you need to familiarize yourself with before starting treatment. The drug should not be taken in the following cases:
- intolerance to the components of the composition;
- adolescence;
- prostate cancer;
- tumor of the mammary glands in men;
- pregnancy;
- lactation.
Any testosterone medications and Methyltestosterone tablets should not be taken during pregnancy. A large dose of male hormone can cause fetal development abnormalities and lead to early miscarriage. The drug passes into breast milk, so it is not used during lactation. If treatment with this medicine is necessary, the woman should stop breastfeeding.
If in women breast cancer is an indication for taking the drug, then in men such pathology is an absolute contraindication
Drug interactions
- The drug significantly enhances the therapeutic effect of indirect anticoagulants, and therefore it is necessary to reduce their dosage when taken simultaneously with Methyltestosterone.
- The drug is prescribed with caution to patients with diabetes mellitus, as it may enhance the effect of insulin. This is dangerous due to the risk of developing hypoglycemia due to a sharp drop in blood sugar levels.
- When taken simultaneously with barbiturates, a decrease in the androgenic effect of the drug Methyltestosterone is observed.
- The bioavailability of the drug is reduced when taken with cimetidine and parathyroidin.
