Is Testosterone Supplemental Therapy Safe?

More and more men are taking supplemental testosterone to increase their feeling of youth and augment their sex drive. The concern for some time has been concerns about safety asking questions related to the risks of increased stroke or heart attacks in those men taking supplemental testosterone. For men who have a low serum testosterone, the indications are clearly present but, but for men who have not tested their serum testosterone and just want to take the drug (this is common), now there is new data from “two studies — one observational, the other a meta-analysis —just presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2015 Scientific Sessions that also showed no increased cardiovascular risk (heart attacks) among testosterone users”. For those men reading this, it may allay fears if this is a consideration, but still each man considering this should clear taking this hormone with his doctor.
