Can Testosterone Undecanoate capsules be chewed? What are the common adverse reactions

Testosterone Undecanoate Capsules (Antel) are mainly used to treat male androgen deficiency and can also be used to treat aplastic anemia. Testosterone Undecanoate Capsules (Andel) have the same effect as testosterone. The long-acting androgen effect of intramuscular injection lasts for about 70 days. Oral absorption is relatively rapid, and most of it is metabolized through the intestinal wall and liver, so its bioavailability is relatively low. Can it be chewed? What are the common adverse reactions?

How to use testosterone undecanoate capsules

The starting dose of testosterone undecanoate capsules is: 120-160mg (calculated as testosterone undecanoate, i.e. 3-4 capsules) per day for 2-3 weeks, and then a maintenance dose of 40-120mg per day (calculated as testosterone undecanoate, i.e. 1-3 capsules). Testosterone undecanoate capsules should be taken with meals. If necessary, they can be swallowed with a small amount of water. Patients should swallow the capsules completely and cannot chew or crush them. Because each patient's disease progression and tolerance to drugs are different, when patients receive testosterone undecanoate capsules (Andel) treatment, their dosage, onset of effect, etc. will also be different. The actual medication can be adjusted according to the patient's physical condition, but the patient cannot blindly increase or decrease the dosage, because this may cause adverse reactions, and the patient should strictly follow the doctor's diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
