Testosterone Undecanoate (Jatenzo)

Jatenzo (testosterone undecanoate) is an oral medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of testosterone deficiency in adult males. It offers a convenient alternative to traditional testosterone replacement therapies, such as injections or transdermal patches.

Unlike other oral testosterone formulations, Jatenzo is specifically designed to bypass the liver and undergo absorption in the small intestine, which helps to enhance its bioavailability. By utilizing this unique mechanism of absorption, Jatenzo delivers testosterone directly into the bloodstream, ensuring effective hormone replacement therapy.

The primary goal of Jatenzo is to restore testosterone levels in men with low testosterone (also known as hypogonadism). Low testosterone levels can lead to a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, mood changes, and reduced muscle mass. Jatenzo works by supplementing the body's testosterone levels, helping to alleviate these symptoms and improve overall well-being.
