ইঙ্গিত ও ব্যবহার
Once inside the body, the active ingredient in Androcap is converted into testosterone. Androcap is the natural male hormone responsible for the normal growth, development and function of the male sex organs, as well as for male secondary sexual characteristics. Medicines containing Androcap are generally prescribed to replace this hormone when the body cannot produce enough of it on its own. Androcap capsules are soft, oval, glossy, transparent, orange-red in colour, and contain an oily fill.

Adults:
40 mg capsule: Usually, the dosage is 3 to 4 capsules daily during the first 2 to 3 weeks, followed by a gradual decrease to 1 to 3 capsules daily. You must take Testosterone with a meal. Swallow the capsules whole without chewing, using some water or other fluid. Take half of the daily dose in the morning and the other half in the evening. If the daily dose is an uneven number of capsules, take the larger number in the morning. If you have the impression that the effect of Testosterone is too strong or too weak, inform your doctor immediately. If you forget to take Testosterone, do not take a double dose to make up for the forgotten individual dose. When treatment with Testosterone is stopped, complaints such as those before treatment may re-occur within a few weeks. 112.5 mg capsule: Prior to initiating Testosterone, confirm the diagnosis of hypogonadism by ensuring that serum Testosterone concentrations have been measured in the morning on at least two separate days and that these serum Testosterone concentrations are below the normal range. The recommended dosage of Testosterone is 225 mg, taken as two 112.5 mg capsules, orally twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Take with food.

সতর্কতা ও নিষেধাজ্ঞা
Warnings & Precautions
Polycythemia: The patient's hematocrit should be checked roughly every 3 months during the first year of Androcap treatment, then every 6 months afterward. Androcap should be discontinued if needed. Worsening of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Potential Risk of Prostate Cancer: Patients with BPH should be watched for worsening signs and symptoms. Because of the potential risk of prostate cancer, patients should also be evaluated for it, including checking prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels before starting androgen therapy and periodically during treatment. Venous Thromboembolism (VTE): VTE, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), has been reported in patients using testosterone products. If VTE is suspected, Androcap should be stopped and appropriate workup and management started. Abuse of Androcap and Monitoring of Serum Testosterone: If there is suspicion of abuse, such as testosterone being used at doses above what is recommended for the approved indication, or combined with other anabolic androgenic steroids, serum testosterone concentration should be checked. Potential for Adverse Effects on Spermatogenesis: Androcap can have an adverse effect on spermatogenesis and may cause azoospermia. Edema: Edema, with or without congestive heart failure (CHF), may occur in patients who already have heart, kidney, or liver disease. If this happens, Androcap should be stopped and appropriate workup started. Sleep Apnea: Androcap may worsen sleep apnea in people who already have risk factors for it. Lipid Changes: Androcap can affect the serum lipid profile, so lipid levels should be monitored. If needed, the dose of lipid lowering medication may need adjusting, or Androcap may need to be discontinued. Increases in Prolactin: Serum prolactin levels should be checked before starting Androcap and again 3 to 4 months after treatment begins. If prolactin levels remain elevated, Androcap should be discontinued.
নিষেধাজ্ঞা
Testosterone should not be used by patients with breast carcinoma or known or suspected prostate carcinoma, or by women who are pregnant, since it can cause virilization of the female fetus when given to a pregnant woman. It is also contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to testosterone undecanoate or any of Testosterone's ingredients, and in men whose hypogonadal conditions, such as "age-related hypogonadism," are not linked to a structural or genetic cause. Testosterone's efficacy has not been established for these latter conditions, and it can raise BP, which in turn can increase the risk of MACE.
