FDA Requires Labeling Changes on Testosterone
Makers of approved testosterone products must revise their labels, according to new rules announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 3, 2015.
Labels must now clarify that testosterone therapy is FDA-approved only for men with hypogonadism - low testosterone caused by a medical condition. It is not approved for age-related testosterone declines.
The FDA also requires that manufacturers note possible cardiovascular risks, after studies have found an increased risk of heart attack and stroke in some men taking testosterone.
This change is a controversial one, as some experts have questioned the reliability of the studies. Others say that testosterone does not increase the risk of heart problems and may even be protective.
More details on these changes are available here.
