KYZATREX™ is not substitutable with other oral testosterone undecanoate products.
Prior to initiating KYZATREX™, 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 testosterone concentrations are below the normal range.
Individualize the dosage of KYZATREX™ based on the patient's serum testosterone concentration response to the drug.
The recommended starting dose is 200 mg orally twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Take KYZATREX™ with food.
Dosage Adjustment
Check serum testosterone concentrations 7 days after starting treatment or after dosage adjustment, 3 to 5 hours after the morning dose. Adjust the KYZATREX™ dose as necessary as shown in Table 1. Thereafter, periodically monitor serum testosterone concentrations.
The minimum recommended dose is 100 mg once daily in the morning. The maximum recommended dose is 400 mg twice daily. For total daily doses greater than 100 mg, administer the same dose in the morning and evening.
