Hi,
Thank you for the query. I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have recently been diagnosed with an enlarged spleen. Your enlarged spleen may result from infectious mononucleosis according to your prediction.
In this situation, some drugs may aggravate the enlargement of spleen and eventually may rupture your spleen. A ruptured spleen may cause huge blood loss and be life threatening. So, limit any activities that may rupture your spleen like sports or medications. Again, some drugs may aggravate severe hemolysis associated with splenomegaly.
It is important to treat the cause that is responsible for splenomegaly or enlarged spleen. During treatment period, you should not take any medication or do any activities without consulting your doctor.
Testomax is known as natural testosterone which may aggravate hemolysis associated with splenomegaly. So, don't take this medication as well as any other drugs without the permission of your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
