What is Jatenzo?

Jatenzo is an oral testosterone replacement therapy given as a capsule twice per day for the treatment of low testosterone in hypogonadal men. Jatenzo is FDA-approved for men with genetic disorders like Klinefelter syndrome or tumors that have damaged the pituitary gland, not “age-related hypogonadism”, due to heart safety risks.

In a 4-month study of 166 men with hypogonadism, 87% of Jatenzo-treated men reached testosterone levels within the normal range, which was the main endpoint of the study.

Commonly reported side effects included:

• headache
• an increase in hematocrit (red blood cell count)
• a decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“good” cholesterol)
• high blood pressure
• nausea.

Jatenzo, a testosterone drug, also contains a boxed warning about increased risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and heart-related death. To learn more about Jatenzo side effects, visit here.
