AB Key  Clinical  Updates  in  Male  HypogonadismAn  oral  preparation  of  testosterone  undeconoate  (Jatenzo)  is  available  in  capsules  of  158  mg,  198  mg,  and  237  mg  and  should  be  taken  with  food.Serum  testosterone  falls  to  low  levels  by  12  hours  after  an  oral  dose;  dosing  every  8  hours  may  produce  more  consistent  serum  testosterone  levels.Testosterone  replacement  has  not  been  considered  to  significantly  increase  the  risk  of  thromboembolic  events  in  most  hypogonadal  men.However,  one  large  medical  database  study  has  found  a  correlation  between  testosterone  therapy  and  thromboembolic  events,  particularly  in  men  with  a  prior  history  of  vascular  events  and  in  men  being  prescribed  testosterone  without  proper  documentation  of  hypogonadism.
