What Are Luvox And Diamicron Prescribed For?

Posted on Wed, 19 Oct 2016

Question: I m 33, male, 20kg overweight, type 2 diabetic. I m on luvox 100mg, androcur 100mg, diamicron 30mg. Does that mean I have low testosterone?

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed our previous interactions also.

So being on this medications does not mean you have low testosterone. However the androcur opposes the effect of testosterone on the cells of the body. In other words, it has an effect similar to what one would expect with low blood testosterone levels.

The diamicron and luvox are also not known to impact blood testosterone levels.

Thanks. Is there any way to achieve low testosterone? Do you recommend higher dose of androcur or maybe firmagon Depot? It's critical and only you can help.

Female hormones like estrogen and progesterone will also lower testosterone in men
