Virilon
Androgens are hormones used for replacement in males who are not
producing proper amounts of testosterone for various reasons.
This medication is also used in women to treat breast cancer and
postpartum breast pain or engorgement.
Side Effects:
This medication may cause stomach upset, headache, and acne.
These effects should disappear as your body adjusts to the medication.
Other side effects may include increased hair growth on the face
and body, male pattern baldness, change in sex drive, anxiety, depression
and pain or inflammation at the injection site.
Males may experience enlargement of the breasts and increase in
the frequency and duration of erections.
If any of these effects continue or become bothersome, inform
your doctor.
Notify your doctor if you experience nausea, vomiting, swelling
of the hands or feet (edema) or jaundice while taking this medication.
In women this may cause menstrual irregularities, hoarseness,
deepening of the voice, clitoral enlargement, increased facial hair
growth, acne or thinning of hair.
Notify your doctor if any of these effects occur.

Endogenous androgens are responsible for normal growth and
development of the male sex organs and for maintenance of secondary
sex characteristics.
About 90 percent of a dose of testosterone is excreted in the
urine as glucuronic and sulfuric acid conjugates of testosterone
and its metabolites; about 6 percent of a dose is excreted in
the feces, mostly in the unconjugated form.
If this occurs, the drug should be discontinued.
If any of these effects appear, the androgen should be stopped
and if restarted, a lower dosage should be utilized.
In diabetic patients, the metabolic effects of androgens may decrease
blood glucose and, therefore, insulin requirements.

17, 1998 (63 FR 69631), FDA withdrew approval of estrogen-containing
drugs insofar as they are indicated for postpartum breast engorgement
because estrogens have not been shown to be safe for this use.
This action was taken as one part of a large agency undertaking
with respect to the labeling (patient-directed as well as physician-directed)
for all estrogencontaining drug products.

Notice of Opportunity for a Hearing Any manufacturer or distributor
of a drug product affected by this notice is hereby offered an
opportunity for a hearing to show why estrogen-androgen combination
drugs should not be reclassified as lacking substantial evidence
of effectiveness for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms associated
with the menopause in those patients not improved by estrogen
alone.
