Jatenzo (testosterone) is a liquid filled capsule used to treat symptoms of low testosterone in men who have hypogonadism (a condition in which the body does not produce enough natural testosterone).
Jatenzo is used only for men with low testosterone levels caused by certain medical conditions, including disorders of the testicles, pituitary gland, (a small gland in the brain), or hypothalamus (a part of the brain) that cause hypogonadism.
Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your testosterone levels to see if they are low before you begin to take this medicine.
Jatenzo should not be used treat the symptoms of low testosterone in men who have low testosterone due to aging ('age-related hypogonadism').
Jatenzo is not intended for use by women.
Testosterone is a hormone produced by the body that contributes to the growth, development, and functioning of the male sexual organs and typical male characteristics. Jatenzo works by replacing testosterone that is normally produced by the body.
It is not known if testosterone is safe or effective in children younger than 18 years old. Improper use may affect bone growth in children.
Jatenzo is a controlled substance because it contains testosterone that can be a target for people who abuse prescription medicines. Keep this medicine in a safe place to protect it. Never give your Jatenzo to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms you have. Selling or giving away this medicine may harm others and is against the law.
