What is Natesto?

Testosterone is a naturally occurring male hormone necessary for many processes in the body.

Natesto (for use in the nose) is used to treat conditions in men that result from a lack of natural testosterone.

Testosterone will not enhance athletic performance and should not be used for that purpose.

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

Warnings

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

Natesto should not be used by a woman. Testosterone can cause birth defects in an unborn baby.

Misuse of testosterone can cause dangerous or irreversible effects. Never use more than your prescribed dose. Do not share this medicine with another person.

How should I use Natesto

Follow all directions on your prescription label. Never use Natesto in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed.

Misuse of testosterone can cause dangerous or irreversible effects, such as enlarged breasts, small testicles, infertility, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, liver disease, bone growth problems, addiction, and mental effects such as aggression and violence.

Do not share Natesto with another person.

Do not take by mouth or use on the skin. Natesto is for use only in the nose.

Read all patient information, medication guides, and instruction sheets provided to you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

Blow your nose gently before using Natesto gel.

Wash with soap and water if the gel gets on your hands or skin while using it.

While using Natesto, you may need frequent blood tests.

Use Natesto regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.

Do not share this medicine with another person.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
