# Testosterone (Ingredient)

Testosterone is an androgenic hormone, a type of steroid, produced by the male reproductive organs. It plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including the production of other hormones and the development of male characteristics.

## Products Containing Testosterone

Several pharmaceutical products contain testosterone as an active ingredient. These are available under various brand names listed on Drugs.com. They include creams, gels, patches, and systemic forms like injections or tablets. These products are prescribed to treat conditions such as hypogonadism, where the body doesn't produce enough testosterone.

## Testosterone Systemic

Testosterone systemic refers to formulations that deliver testosterone throughout the body. This can be achieved via injectable medications (IM or IV) or oral forms. These are often used in cases of severe low testosterone levels, with dosages tailored to individual needs for optimal effectiveness.

## Testosterone Topical

Topical formulations of testosterone allow localized application, such as gels or patches, which are absorbed through the skin. These products offer a controlled release of testosterone, providing consistent levels in the bloodstream. They are convenient options for patients who may not tolerate systemic treatments well.

## Multi-Ingredient Medications Containing Testosterone

Some medications combine testosterone with other ingredients to address complex hormonal imbalances. For instance, products may include estrogens or DHT blockers (like spironolactone). These combinations aim to restore hormonal balance in conditions affecting both male and female hormone levels.

## Estradiol/Testosterone Systemic

Estradiol/testosterone systemic is a specific medication that combines estradiol with testosterone. It is used to treat endocrine disorders affecting both hormones, providing balanced hormone levels for symptom relief.

## Chemical Structure

The chemical structure of testosterone consists of a 19-carbon skeleton with specific functional groups: two hydroxyl groups at positions 3 and 17, a methyl group at position 19, and a double bond between carbons 8 and 9. The IUPAC name is 17β-hydroxy-4-androstene-3-one.
