Introduction About SUSTANON 100MG INJECTION

SUSTANON 100MG INJECTION is a combination of Testosterone propionate, Testosterone isocaproate and Testosterone phenylpropionate, which belongs to the group of medicines called Androgens. It is used as testosterone replacement therapy that helps to manage male sexual problems such as eunuchoidism (a condition due to a sexual development deficit) or castration (the removal of testicles), impotence due to hormonal disorders, decreased sex drive, infertility (due to a low sperm count), bone loss (due to low hormone levels) and/or decreased sexual ability (due to poor pituitary gland secretions).

A male sexual problem occurs due to a lack of production of testosterone (a male sex hormone), which plays an important role in masculine development during puberty, adequate production of sperm, regulation of sex drive and maintenance of optimum bone & muscle mass in men.
