Important Precautions

• Testosterone is not an appropriate drug for everyone. It should be avoided by anyone with heart or kidney disease, pregnant women, and men with prostate or breast cancer. Do not use this drug if you have experienced an allergic reaction to it in the past.
• Possible side effects of testosterone include dizziness. Until you know how this drug affects you, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or perform other tasks that require concentration.
• Long-term use of large doses of this hormone has been associated with potentially life-threatening liver damage. Other serious consequences may include high cholesterol, decreased sperm count, enlarged breasts in men, and acute intermittent porphyria (a condition characterized by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, nerve irritation, and neurotic behavior). You should be closely monitored by your health-care practitioner while taking testosterone.
• A man using a patch on his scrotum may inadvertently transfer hormones to a sexual partner, which may result in the development of unwanted secondary sex characteristics.
