What is Methitest?

Methitest 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.

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

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

You should not use Methitest if you have prostate cancer or male breast cancer.

How should I use Methitest

While using Methitest, you may need frequent blood tests.

Methitest can affect bone growth in boys who are treated for delayed puberty. Bone development may need to be checked with x-rays every 6 months during treatment.
