About Menolon Capsule

Menolon Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called androgens indicated for testosterone replacement therapy in adult men for conditions associated with a deficiency/absence of endogenous testosterone, such as primary hypogonadism and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Testosterone replacement therapy, also known as androgen replacement therapy, is used to treat low testosterone levels.

Menolon Capsule contains Testosterone, which helps replenish the deficient testosterone levels in adult men. Thereby, Menolon Capsule helps in treating deficiency/absence of endogenous testosterone. Testosterone is the anabolic steroid and primary sex hormone in males, which plays an important role in developing male reproductive tissues like the prostate and testes.
