ANDROSTANOLONE belongs to the group of medicines called anabolic steroids used for treating male impotence, hypogonadism (underdeveloped male genitalia), gynecomastia (development of breasts in male bodies) and male infertility. It helps in maintaining the hormonal balance of testosterone (male sex hormone) in the body and improving male fertility and masculine characterisation. Male hypogonadism is a condition in which male gonads (sex organs) do not produce enough testosterone for the proper functioning and development of male sex organs and masculine sexual characteristics. Gynecomastia is the development of female-like breasts in male bodies due to an imbalance in hormones.
ANDROSTANOLONE contains ‘’Androstanolone.’’ It treats male infertility and other hormone-imbalance-related masculine disorders by enhancing the levels of testosterone in the bloodstream and suppressing the conversion of androgen (male sex hormones) to oestrogen (female sex hormones).
ANDROSTANOLONE is a prescription-only medicine. Always use ANDROSTANOLONE in the dose prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, ANDROSTANOLONE may cause certain common side effects, such as acne, headache, itching, and hot flushes. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.
Consult your doctor in case of a history of severe kidney or liver disease, urine problems, hypertension, high blood calcium, heart failure, cardiac diseases, migraine, epilepsy, clotting problems and/or breathing difficulties as in sleep apnoea. Inform your doctor if you are on treatment with any corticosteroids, anti-diabetic drugs like insulin or anticoagulants. Consult your doctor if you are planning to get pregnant before taking ANDROSTANOLONE or if you are breastfeeding. Consult your doctor before taking alcohol with ANDROSTANOLONE as there may be an interaction.
Male impotence, hypogonadism (underdeveloped male genitalia), and gynecomastia (development of breasts in male bodies).
ANDROSTANOLONE contains Androstanolone, an anabolic steroid. Androstanolone is an active metabolite of the male sex hormone testosterone. It is used primarily to improve male fertility rates and to treat impotence and feminisation of sexual characteristics in men. ANDROSTANOLONE enhances the levels of testosterone in the male body and balances any hormonal disturbances. In addition, it blocks the conversion of androgens to oestrogen, promoting masculinisation and male secondary sexual characteristics, such as hair, deep voice and sperm potentiation, thereby enhancing male fertility.
It is advisable to inform the doctor if you are allergic to ANDROSTANOLONE or any of the components. Keep your doctor informed if you suffer from hypersensitivity or any prostate disorder. Avoid ANDROSTANOLONE use if you have a history of male breast cancer. Consult your doctor in case of a history of severe kidney or liver disease, urine problems, hypertension, high blood calcium, heart failure, cardiac diseases, migraine, epilepsy, clotting problems and/or breathing difficulties as in sleep apnoea. Inform your doctor if you are on treatment with corticosteroids and anti-diabetic drugs like insulin or anticoagulants. Consult your doctor if you are planning to get pregnant before taking ANDROSTANOLONE during pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding. Consult your doctor before taking alcohol with ANDROSTANOLONE as there may be an interaction.

Male Infertility: Male infertility is when a pregnancy cannot be initiated by a man with his female partner. It can be due to blockages, genetic issues, low sperm count or organic causes. Azoospermia is the complete absence of sperm in male ejaculation.
Hypogonadism: Male hypogonadism is the underdevelopment of male sex organs, leading the male body to produce inadequate and insufficient levels of the male sex hormone testosterone, which is vital for male reproductive health and masculine characterisation.
Gynaecomastia: The development of female-like breasts in the male body is termed gynecomastia. This can happen in genetic disorders such as Klinefelter’s syndrome or as a reaction to certain drugs. The cause is almost always a reduced level of testosterone or a high level of oestrogen.
