Nebido 1000mg/4ml

To be used as directed by your doctor.

Your doctor will inject Nebido (1 ampoule) very slowly into the muscle. He/she will give you the injections every 10 to 14 weeks. This is enough to maintain sufficient testosterone levels without leading to a build-up of testosterone in the blood.
Special care will be taken to prevent injection into a blood vessel.

The active ingredient is testosterone undecanoate 250 mg/ml (corresponding to 157.9 mg testosterone). One ampoule contains 1000 mg testosterone undecanoate.

The other ingredients are benzyl benzoate and refined castor oil.

Like with all medicines, Nebido can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. If any of the side effects gets serious, or if you notice any side effects which concern you, tell your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects (between 1 and 10 in every 100 patients):

high levels of blood cells
weight gain
hot flushes
acne
enlarged prostate and associated problems
various reactions where the injection was given (eg pain, bruising, or irritation)

are allergic to testosterone undecanoate or any of the other ingredients of Nebido (see “What Nebido contains”)or have ever had:

androgen-dependent cancer or suspected cancer of the prostate or of the breast
