TESTOMED 100 (Testosterone Base)

Overview

TESTOMED 100 (Testosterone Base) is used in men and boys to treat conditions caused by a lack of testosterone, such as delayed puberty or growth. It is recommended for males with genetic disorders, problems with certain brain structures (called the hypothalamus and pituitary) or previous chemotherapy. Testosterone injection is also used in women to treat certain types of breast cancer that have spread to other parts of the body. TESTOMED 100 contains Testosterone base 100mg/ml and excipients. 

Testosterone Base Mechanism of Action

Testosterone acts on the androgen receptor to exert its androgenic and anabolic effects. It is responsible for the development of male sexual gametes and secondary sexual characteristics. It also exerts some estrogenic effects. Its anabolic effects include increased muscle mass and strength, increase in bone density, and bone maturation. The testosterone base has the advantage of preventing the negative effects of testosterone suppression which are common in other similar drugs. It also does not have any esters, just the pure potent base.
