Because it is an anabolic steroid, Testred is classified as a
controlled substance in the United States. This means that special laws and regulations control its sale and use.
Testred is made by Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America.
How Does Testred Work?
Testred contains
methyltestosterone, a testosterone hormone that has been slightly altered. Testosterone itself is not usually given by mouth.
When medications are taken by mouth, they must first pass through the liver before they reach the bloodstream. The liver metabolizes testosterone extensively before it has a chance to reach the bloodstream, and adequate blood levels usually cannot be achieved. However, methyltestosterone is less extensively metabolized, making adequate blood levels more easily attained.
Some general considerations to keep in mind during treatment with Testred include the following:
- The medication is a capsule that is taken at least once a day. Some people take Testred up to four times a day.
- You may take this medication with or without food. If Testred bothers your stomach, try taking it with food.
- For this drug to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Do not increase your dosage or take it more frequently than prescribed without your healthcare provider's approval.
