Welcome to your guide on taking oral testosterone medication. This information is designed to help you understand your treatment and how to take your medication correctly and safely. Whether you are prescribed Enclomiphene or Kyzatrex, this guide will provide you with the essential information you need.
Understanding Your Medication
Oral testosterone medications are a convenient and effective way to manage your testosterone levels.
Enclomiphene: This medication works by stimulating your body to produce its own testosterone. It is often used to increase testosterone levels while preserving fertility.
Kyzatrex: This is a form of testosterone that you take orally. It is designed to be absorbed through your lymphatic system, which helps to minimize stress on your liver.
How to Take Your Medication: A Step-by-Step Guide
Following these steps will help you take your medication correctly and get the most out of your treatment.
Step 1: Get Ready
Check Your Supply: Make sure you have your medication (Enclomiphene or Kyzatrex) and a glass of water ready.
Inspect the Capsules: Before taking, check that the capsules are intact and have been stored correctly, away from heat and moisture.
Step 2: Take Your Dose
Confirm Your Dosage: Double-check your prescribed dose on the Fella Health Hub.
Swallow Whole: Take the capsule with a full glass of water. It is important not to crush, chew, or open the capsule, as this can change how the medication works in your body.
With or Without Food: You can take these medications with or without food. If you experience an upset stomach, taking them with a meal may help.
Step 3: Stay Consistent
Timing is Key: Try to take your medication at the same time each day. This helps maintain a stable level of the hormone in your body.
For Twice-Daily Doses: If your prescription is for two doses a day, space them out evenly (for example, one in the morning and one in the evening).
After You've Taken Your Dose
Track Your Progress: Make a note of when you've taken your medication. You can use the Fella Health Hub to keep a record.
Monitor How You Feel: Pay attention to how you feel and any changes you notice. It's helpful to keep a simple journal to share with your provider during your check-ins.
What If I Miss a Dose?
It happens to everyone. If you miss a dose, here’s what to do:
If you remember within a few hours: Take it as soon as you remember.
If it's almost time for your next dose: Skip the missed dose and get back on your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed.
If you're unsure: It's always best to contact your healthcare provider for advice.
Storing Your Medication
Keep it Safe: Store your medication in its original container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
Keep Out of Reach: Make sure to store your medication in a place that is out of reach of children and pets.
