Symptoms of Low Testosterone

FDA Update
(2023)

In 2023, the FDA removed the black box warning on testosterone treatments for men with confirmed low testosterone due to hypogonadism or age-related decline. This decision followed a comprehensive review of clinical studies showing that, when used under medical supervision, TRT poses minimal cardiovascular risks for appropriate candidates. The updated guidance emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis and monitoring to ensure safe and effective use, providing reassurance for men considering TRT.
