How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Methyltestosterone 2 mg Troche is a synthetic form of testosterone, a hormone naturally produced in the body. This medication is primarily used to treat conditions such as hypogonadism, delayed puberty, and androgen deficiency. Hypogonadism is a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone. In cases of delayed puberty in boys and androgen deficiency in men, this medication aids in increasing the production of testosterone in the body, thereby improving physical and sexual development.

The Methyltestosterone 2 mg Troche is a square-shaped solid dosage form designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. The troche is placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve, facilitating the absorption of the medication through the oral mucosa. This method of administration allows the medication to enter the bloodstream directly, bypassing the digestive system, and ensuring a more targeted local or systemic effect.

When taking Methyltestosterone 2 mg Troche, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. The medication is typically taken once or twice daily, as directed. Consistency is key in ensuring that the levels of testosterone in the body remain stable. Therefore, it is recommended to take the medication at the same time each day. To ensure optimal absorption, avoid eating or drinking anything for at least 15 minutes after taking the medication.

If you have any questions or concerns about Methyltestosterone 2 mg Troche or its effects, do not hesitate to seek advice from your healthcare provider. They can provide you with comprehensive information about the medication, its administration, and its potential effects on your body.

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.
