Andriol TK

Andriol TK is used primarily to treat symptoms of sexual dysfunction in men and women and hot flashes in women. Potential benefits include improved libido, increased bone mass, and increased sense of well-being.

Andriol TK injections may be safe for many people when they follow a doctor's instructions. However, research has also linked Andriol TK therapy with several side effects and possible complications. Possible negative effects of Andriol TK therapy may include: an increased risk of cardiovascular complications.

Andriol TK is a sex hormone that plays important roles in the body. In men, it's thought to regulate sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength, and the production of red blood cells and sperm. A small amount of circulating Andriol TK is converted to estradiol, a form of estrogen.

Common side effects may include:

• breast swelling;
• acne, increased facial or body hair growth, male-pattern baldness;
• increased or decreased interest in sex;
• headache, anxiety, depressed mood;
• increased blood pressure;
• numbness or tingly feeling;
• abnormal liver function tests;
• high red blood cell counts (hematocrit or hemoglobin);
• increased PSA (prostate-specific antigen); or
• pain, bruising, bleeding, redness, or a hard lump where the medicine was injected.

If you are pregnant, avoid starting Andriol TK, as it will harm the developing fetus.

Andriol TK delivered by sublingual drops, vaginal cream, and pellet implant was absorbed but not measurably excreted into breast milk. Andriol TK, delivered by a 100-mg subcutaneous pellet implant, was effective in relieving symptoms of Andriol TK deficiency and therapy is safe for the breast-fed infant.

Many doctors recommend limiting or quitting alcohol while taking Andriol TK. More than 90 percent of men with advanced liver disease also have low Andriol TK. Continuing to drink may worsen liver damage, which will lead to more health problems and further impaired Andriol TK production.

With the higher levels of energy and improved muscle mass Andriol TK replacement therapy brings, you'll also have more stamina and strength to last longer during sex.

Effects on sexual interest appear after 3 weeks plateauing at 6 weeks, with no further increments expected beyond. Changes in erections/ejaculations may require up to 6 months. Effects on quality of life manifest within 3–4 weeks, but maximum benefits take longer.

Traditionally, it's the morning. It's not scientifically necessary to inject Andriol TK in the morning, though our Andriol TK is at the highest levels in the morning.

Most individuals will start to notice significant changes within 4 to 6 weeks of beginning treatment with Andriol TK injections, but some changes may actually be felt and seen much earlier.

Injections of Andriol TK will last approximately 15-17 days and after that there will be a dramatic drop. The 14 day treatment schedule keeps that dramatic drop from occurring.

Indefinitely. TRT does not cure low Andriol TK, so your symptoms may return if you stop taking it.

Andriol TK can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. You may need to stop using Andriol TK or start taking blood pressure medication.

Men who have prostate cancer or breast cancer should not take Andriol TK replacement therapy. Nor should men who have severe urinary tract problems, untreated severe sleep apnea or uncontrolled heart failure.

Call your doctor for instructions if you miss an appointment for your Andriol TK injection.

If you have used too much testosterone, stopping the medicine may caused unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, such as depression, tiredness, irritability, loss of appetite, sleep problems, or decreased libido.

Since this medicine is given by a healthcare professional in a medical setting, an overdose is unlikely to occur.

Andriol TK treatment decreases sperm production by decreasing levels of another hormone, follicelstimulating hormone (FSH), which is important for stimulating sperm production. In most cases, the infertility caused by testosterone treatment is reversible.

Some studies have reported that Andriol TK therapy might increase the risk of a heart attack in men age 65 and older, as well as in younger men who have a history of heart disease.

Genetically predicted Andriol TK was associated with CKD and worse kidney function in men, whilst not affected by kidney function. Identifying drivers of Andriol TK and the underlying pathways could provide new insights into CKD prevention and treatment.

Andriol TK may adversely affect liver function.
