Testosterone 1 mg Troche is a specialized medication designed to address low testosterone levels in men. This unique formulation is a square-shaped solid dosage form that is designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. Unlike traditional tablets, this troche delivers the active ingredient, testosterone, through absorption via the oral mucosa. This method of delivery allows for targeted local or systemic effects, depending on the individual's needs.

Testosterone is a hormone naturally produced by the body and is responsible for the development of male characteristics such as facial hair, muscle mass, and a deep voice. When testosterone levels are low, men may experience a variety of symptoms including decreased libido, fatigue, depression, and decreased muscle mass. Testosterone 1 mg Troche is designed to treat these symptoms by restoring testosterone levels to their normal range.

When using Testosterone 1 mg Troche, it is crucial to adhere to your doctor's instructions. The troche should be taken once daily, preferably in the morning, and should be consumed with food and a full glass of water. Consistency is key, so it's important to take the troche at the same time each day to ensure stable levels of testosterone in the body. Overdosing should be avoided as it can lead to serious side effects.

By restoring testosterone levels to their normal range, it can alleviate symptoms such as decreased libido, fatigue, depression, and decreased muscle mass.

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.
