Usage

General Description

(5alpha,17beta)-17-hydroxy-17-methylandrost-9(11)-en-3-one, also known as Methyltestosterone, is a synthetic androgen hormone used primarily in the treatment of testosterone deficiency and hormone therapy for transgender men. It is a derivative of testosterone and functions by binding to androgen receptors, stimulating the development of male sexual characteristics such as increased muscle mass, deepening of the voice, and growth of facial and body hair. Methyltestosterone is available in oral form and is typically used for short-term treatment due to its potential for liver toxicity. It is classified as a controlled substance and is subject to regulations regarding its use and distribution.
