Availability

• A doctor’s prescription is required to obtain this medication.
• Available on Authority Prescription to legal males on the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).

General Information

• Reandron1000® provides long-lasting testosterone levels (about 12 weeks from a single injection). The testosterone is released slowly so that men do not experience the peaks and troughs that are common with standard injections.
• This 3-monthly testosterone injection became available from 1 August 2006.
• After the first injection, a second injection is given at 6 weeks and then approximately every 12 weeks (3 months) thereafter.
• This form of treatment is not appropriate in men who have bleeding disorders (or who are taking blood thinning medication).
• Some men prefer to inject 2mL in two different locations rather than the full 4mL in the one location.
