MESTEROLONE 25mg – HILMA BIOCARE

Description:

Mesterolone is a medication manufactured by Hilma Biocare, containing the active substance Mesterolone. It is available in the form of oral tablets, with each tablet typically containing 25mg of Mesterolone. Mesterolone is a synthetic derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) with androgenic and anabolic properties.

Indications:

Mesterolone is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypogonadism and male infertility. It is also used off-label for other medical conditions such as androgen deficiency syndromes and delayed puberty in males. Additionally, Mesterolone may be used in the treatment of certain breast cancer types in women.

How It Works:

Mesterolone exerts its effects by binding to androgen receptors in various tissues, including muscle cells, promoting protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. This leads to increased muscle mass, strength, and overall anabolic effects. Mesterolone also has androgenic effects, contributing to the development of male sexual characteristics.

Dosage and Administration:

The dosage of Mesterolone varies depending on the indication, the patient’s age, weight, and response to treatment. It is usually administered orally as a single daily dose, with or without food. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, and the dosage should be individualized based on the patient’s needs and medical history.

Possible Side Effects:

Common side effects of Mesterolone may include:

1. Androgenic Effects: These may include acne, oily skin, increased facial or body hair growth (hirsutism), and male pattern baldness in genetically predisposed individuals.
2. Hepatic Effects: Mesterolone may cause liver toxicity, particularly when used at high doses or for prolonged periods. Liver function tests should be monitored regularly during treatment.
3. Cardiovascular Effects: Long-term use of Mesterolone may increase the risk of cardiovascular problems, including hypertension (high blood pressure), atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), and adverse changes in cholesterol levels.
4. Suppression of Natural Testosterone Production: Like other androgenic-anabolic steroids, Mesterolone can suppress the body’s natural production of testosterone, leading to potential symptoms of hypogonadism and the need for post-cycle therapy (PCT) to restore hormone levels.

Warnings and Precautions:

1. Hormonal Imbalance: Mesterolone can disrupt the body’s natural hormone balance, particularly in men, leading to potential symptoms of androgen excess or deficiency. Close monitoring of hormone levels and regular follow-up visits with a healthcare professional are recommended.
2. Hepatic Function: Liver function tests should be performed before starting treatment with Mesterolone and regularly thereafter, especially in patients with a history of liver disease or abnormal liver function tests.
3. Drug Interactions: Mesterolone may interact with other medications, including oral anticoagulants, insulin, and certain corticosteroids. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are taking.

Mesterolone is a prescription medication used for various medical conditions, including hypogonadism, male infertility, and certain breast cancer types. Patients should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage, administration, and monitoring for adverse effects. Any concerns or potential side effects should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
