Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Methyltestosterone 15 mg Capsules is a prescription medication that is primarily used to treat conditions such as hypogonadism, delayed puberty, and other hormone-related disorders. This medication is a synthetic version of testosterone, a hormone that naturally occurs in the body. Methyltestosterone works by supplementing the body's natural testosterone levels, particularly in cases where the body is unable to produce sufficient amounts of the hormone.

The medication is available in the form of solid dosage capsules, which are composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells. These shells enclose the medication, making it easy and convenient to swallow. The encapsulation also ensures that each capsule provides a precise dosage of the active ingredients.

Methyltestosterone 15 mg Capsules should be taken orally, typically once a day. It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions when taking this medication. Do not alter the prescribed dosage or frequency without consulting your healthcare provider.

Common side effects of Methyltestosterone 15 mg Capsules may include nausea, vomiting, headaches, acne, and changes in libido. If you experience any of these side effects, or if they persist or worsen, it is important to contact your doctor immediately.

Before starting treatment with Methyltestosterone 15 mg Capsules, it is essential to discuss your medical history with your doctor. Inform them about any other medications you are currently taking, as well as any allergies or medical conditions you have. This will help your doctor determine if this medication is safe and suitable for you.

If you have any questions or concerns about Methyltestosterone 15 mg Capsules, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is always ready to provide the information and support you need.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Methyltestosterone 15 mg Capsules are a solid dosage form composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and provides a precise dosage of the active ingredients. These capsules are primarily indicated for the treatment of hypogonadism and delayed puberty in males, as well as female breast cancer. They can also be used to treat anemia, osteoporosis, and other conditions as determined by a healthcare provider.

Methyltestosterone should not be used in pregnant women due to potential harm to the fetus, and is also not recommended for women who are breastfeeding. It's important to note that Methyltestosterone may interact with other medications, including anticoagulants, insulin, and corticosteroids. Certain herbal supplements, such as St. John's wort, may also interact with Methyltestosterone. Therefore, patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications and supplements they are taking before starting treatment with Methyltestosterone.

Patients with a history of liver disease, kidney disease, prostate cancer, or breast cancer should not take Methyltestosterone. Additionally, it should not be taken by patients who are using any medications that contain estrogen, such as birth control pills. Close monitoring is required for signs of liver damage, such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or abdominal pain. Signs of masculinization, such as deepening of the voice, increased body hair, or changes in sexual desire, should also be closely monitored.

If you have any questions about Methyltestosterone 15 mg Capsules, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Methyltestosterone 15 mg Capsules are a compounded formulation designed to treat various conditions such as hypogonadism, delayed puberty, and male infertility. The active ingredient, methyltestosterone, is a synthetic version of the male hormone testosterone. This medication functions by substituting the naturally produced testosterone in the body, thereby helping to restore normal testosterone levels.

The capsules are designed for oral administration, typically once a day. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and frequency as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not alter the dosage or frequency without professional medical advice.

These capsules can alleviate symptoms associated with hypogonadism, such as reduced sex drive, fatigue, and depression. They can also enhance fertility in men suffering from male infertility. Furthermore, they can foster normal growth and development in children experiencing delayed puberty.

However, it's important to be aware that this medication may lead to side effects, including nausea, vomiting, headache, and mood or behavior changes. It's also crucial to inform your healthcare provider about any allergies or existing medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, before starting this medication.

However, it is important to note that these capsules should be used with caution in patients with a history of liver disease, as they can potentially cause liver damage.

Patients using Methyltestosterone 15 mg Capsules should be closely monitored for signs of liver damage, such as jaundice, dark urine, and abdominal pain.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
