What is Xyosted injection?

Xyosted injection is a single-dose syringe supplied as an autoinjector containing testosterone. Testosterone is a naturally occurring sex hormone produced in a man's testicles.

Xyosted is a prescription medicine used as a hormone replacement therapy in adult men who have low or no testosterone due to certain medical conditions.

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

It is not known if Xyosted is safe or effective in children younger than 18 years old. Improper use of testosterone may affect bone growth in children.

Warnings

You should not be treated with Xyosted if you have prostate cancer, male breast cancer, a serious heart condition, severe liver or kidney disease, or an allergy to castor oil or sesame oil.

Xyosted is not for use in treating low testosterone without certain medical conditions or due to getting older. Testosterone should not be used to enhance athletic performance.

Xyosted is not for use in women.

Testosterone can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. You may need to stop using Xyosted or start taking blood pressure medication.

Stealing, selling, or giving away this medicine is against the law.
