Complications of Testosterone Treatments

As patients reported serious side effects linked with testosterone treatments, the government increased its scrutiny on these medications. In March 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning stating testosterone replacement drugs increased users’ risks of the side effects listed below. In 2016, the agency told all pharmaceutical companies that made these products to add warning labels stating the potential for drug use disorders among those who take testosterone and other anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS).

The complications associated with testosterone replacement drugs include:

• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Pulmonary embolism
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Death

More than 25,000 lawsuits have already been filed by men who have suffered cardiovascular and other serious health problems due to testosterone drugs. You may be eligible to file a claim, too.

Low Testosterone Products

The FDA originally approved testosterone replacement drugs to treat hypogonadism, but many doctors and patients have embraced the idea that testosterone treatment can increase strength and energy for any man whose levels of the hormone are lower than expected.

Your doctor may have prescribed any of the following testosterone replacement drugs, which are usually administered as an injection, patch, or gel.

• AndroGel®
• Androderm®
• Android 25®
• Android 10®
• Axiron®
• Bio-T-Gel®
• Fortesta®
• Delatestryl®
• Methyltestosterone®
• Depo-Testosterone®
• Striant®
• Testim®
• Testopel®
• Testosterone
• Cypionate®
• Enanthate®
• Testred®

Any of these drugs may lead to severe health conditions. A Boston University School of Medicine study found that men taking testosterone drugs were five times more likely to experience dangerous cardiac problems.

If you were prescribed testosterone therapy, you should talk to your doctor about the health risks. Those who have already suffered unexpected complications of testosterone therapy should consult one of our experienced attorneys to see if they can file a lawsuit.
