Hi,
Testosterone IM injection is used in the treatment of
sexual dysfunction in men and post menopausal symptoms in women due to
testosterone deficiency. This injection may improve libido, increase bones and muscles mass, treat delayed puberty, impotence or other hormonal imbalances. But, like other medications, this medication has some side effects too. Testosterone injection may cause symptoms of serious allergic or
hypersensitivity reactions during or after your injection such as shallow and rapid breathing or tachypnea, tightening of the throat, breathing difficulties,
shortness of breath, swallowing difficultly, cough or urge to cough, rashes, itching, chest pain, dizziness, fainting, sweating, hypotension etc. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should inform your doctor promptly for
medical help.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General And Family Physician,
