Product introduction

Sustanon 100 Injection is a medication used to treat male hypogonadism caused by low testosterone levels. It is only prescribed to men with known medical conditions. It helps in restoring the level of testosterone in the male body.

Sustanon 100 Injection is administered directly into the skin or muscles, generally under the supervision of a doctor or a nurse. The dose and how often you take the injection depends on your medical condition. Your doctor will decide how much medication you need to improve your symptoms.

Before using Sustanon 100 Injection, inform your doctor if you have a history of high blood pressure or any heart-related conditions. Let your doctor also know about all other medicines you are taking, as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works. Your doctor may conduct regular blood tests to monitor testosterone and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.
