Even though testosterone replacement drugs, like Testosterone Gels, were intended for those who were unable to produce a healthy level of testosterone on their own, Testosterone Gels have now been prescribed as a way to treat signs of aging in male patients. The decrease in testosterone levels as male patients age has been termed low testosterone, or low T.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2013 recorded the health of older male patients using Testosterone Gels. The researchers found that Testosterone Gels increased the risk of cardiovascular problems, especially in those patients who already had a history of Cardiovascular compromise.
This study, and many like it, have prompted the FDA to look more closely at Testosterone Gel heart problems.
