Methyltestosterone is a man-made form of testosterone, a naturally occurring sex hormone that is produced in a man's testicles. Small amounts of testosterone are also produced in a woman's ovaries and adrenal system.

Methyltestosterone is used in men and boys to treat conditions caused by a lack of this hormone, such as delayed puberty or other hormonal imbalances. Methyltestosterone is also used in women to treat breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

Methyltestosterone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

You should not use methyltestosterone if you are allergic to it, or if you have:

• prostate cancer;
• male breast cancer; or
• if you are pregnant or may become pregnant.

To make sure methyltestosterone is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:

• an enlarged prostate;
• breast cancer;
• heart disease, congestive heart failure;
• liver or kidney disease; or
• if you take a blood thinner (warfarin, Coumadin, Jantoven).
