What was Andriol Testocaps used for?
According to the summary of product characteristics, Andriol Testocaps was indicated for testosterone replacement therapy for male hypogonadism, when testosterone deficiency has been confirmed by clinical features and biochemical tests.
The leaflet stated that the capsules were taken with a meal, because food enables the absorption of testosterone undecanoate. The dose was determined by a doctor with regular monitoring of testosterone levels; this page does not give recommendations for using a medicine that is no longer on the market.
Important safety information from the official documents
- The medicine must not be used in case of prostate or breast cancer (or suspicion of them), hypersensitivity to its ingredients, or during pregnancy.
- Before and during treatment, the doctor monitored testosterone levels and other laboratory parameters, every three months in the first year and then once a year.
- Androgens may raise blood pressure, so caution was needed in men with hypertension.
- Androgens may enhance the effect of anticoagulants and affect glucose tolerance in people with diabetes.
- The capsules contained castor oil (may cause stomach upset and diarrhoea) and the colouring Sunset Yellow (E110).
What is available in Serbia?
Since the authorisation ceased in 2020, no oral medicine with testosterone undecanoate has been registered in Serbia. Treatment of testosterone deficiency is managed by a specialist, who assesses whether another form of testosterone therapy is suitable and which one – other forms are not a 1:1 replacement and have different dosing and monitoring.
| Option | What it is | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Examination by an endocrinologist, andrologist or urologist | confirmation of the diagnosis and choice of treatment | essential before any testosterone therapy |
| Other registered forms of testosterone | prescription medicines with a different route of administration | choice and dose are decided solely by a doctor |
| Regular check-ups | testosterone level, blood count, prostate, blood pressure | an integral part of any androgen therapy |
When to seek medical help immediately?
- chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, or swelling and pain in one leg
- severe headache or very high blood pressure
- yellowing of the skin or eyes
- a painful erection lasting for hours

Testosterone products are not something to buy on your own – testosterone therapy requires a confirmed diagnosis and regular checks of the prostate, blood count and blood pressure.
If you used Andriol Testocaps before, bring your latest test results to your doctor – this makes it easier to choose how to continue treatment.
