🩺 Clinical
Testosterone injection is used to treat low or no testosterone levels, stimulate puberty in males with delayed puberty, and certain types of breast cancer. Testosterone is in a class of medications called androgenic hormones. Testosterone is a male sex hormone responsible for development and functioning of male sexual organs and typical male characteristics. Testosterone injection works by replacing the testosterone that is normally produced naturally in the body. When used to treat breast cancer, testosterone works by stopping the release of estrogen.

⏳ Availability & generic status
FDA-approved generic versions are listed, and recent pricing/market data suggests they may be available — see Therapeutic equivalents.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
1 INDICATIONS & USAGE AZMIRO is indicated for testosterone replacement therapy in males in conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone: • Primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired): testicular failure due to conditions such as cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion, orchitis, vanishing testis syndrome; or orchiectomy, Klinefelter’s syndrome, or toxic damage from alcohol or heavy metals, chemotherapy, or toxic damage from alcohol or heavy metals. These men usually have low serum testosterone concentrations and gonadotropins (follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH)) above the normal range [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) ]. • Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (congenital or acquired): gonadotropin or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) deficiency, or pituitary-hypothalamic injury from tumors, trauma, or radiation.
These men have low testosterone serum concentrations but have gonadotropins in the normal or low range [ see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Limitations of Use • Safety and efficacy of AZMIRO in men with “age- related hypogonadism” (also referred to as “late-onset hypogonadism”) have not been established. • Safety and efficacy of AZMIRO in pediatric patients below the age of 12 years have not been established [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 ) ]. AZMIRO is an androgen indicated for testosterone replacement therapy in males for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone ( 1 ): Limitations of Use: • Safety and efficacy of AZMIRO in men with “age-related hypogonadism” (also referred to as “late-onset hypogonadism”) have not been established ( 1 ). • Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 12 years have not been established ( 8.4 ).
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾

Administer AZMIRO by deep gluteal intramuscular injection only ( 2.1 ). • Prior to initiating AZMIRO, confirm the diagnosis of hypogonadism by ensuring that serum testosterone concentrations have been measured in the morning on at least two separate days and that these serum concentrations are below the normal range ( 2.2 ). • Recommended dosage is 50 mg to 400 mg administered every two to four weeks as a deep intramuscular injection in the gluteal muscle.
Individualize the dose and schedule based on the patient’s age, diagnosis, response to treatment, and the appearance of adverse reactions ( 2.3 ). • The prefilled syringe should be administered as an intramuscular injection by a healthcare professional only.
2.1Important Dosage Information • Injectable testosterone products may have different doses, strengths, or administration instructions and they are not substitutable on a milligram-per-milligram basis. • Administer AZMIRO by deep gluteal intramuscular injection only.
2.2Confirmation of Hypogonadism before Initiation of AZMIRO Prior to initiating AZMIRO, confirm the diagnosis of hypogonadism by ensuring that serum testosterone concentrations have been measured in the morning on at least two separate days and that these serum testosterone concentrations are below the normal range.
2.3Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of AZMIRO is 50 mg to 400 mg administered every two to four weeks as a deep intramuscular injection in the gluteal muscle. Individualize the dose and schedule of AZMIRO based on the patient’s age, diagnosis, response to treatment, and the appearance of adverse reactions.
2.4Administration Instructions for AZMIRO Single-dose Vial • Visually inspect parenteral drug products for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. • Discard any unused portions of drug remaining in the single-dose vial.
2.5Important Administration Information and Administration Instructions for AZMIRO Prefilled Syringe Important Administration Information • The prefilled syringe should be administered as an intramuscular injection by a healthcare professional only. • The prefilled syringe should only be used to administer doses of 200 mg. For administration of doses other than 200 mg, use the AZMIRO single-dose vial. • AZMIRO 200 mg/mL is supplied as single-dose prefilled syringe with luer lock connector. • The prefilled syringe carton does not contain a needle.
Obtain suitable needle separately. • Do not use if the packaging appears to be damaged. • Do not use the prefilled syringe if it appears to be damaged or the syringe cap is detached from the Luer lock. Administration Instructions Hold the syringe upright while gripping the ribbed part of the luer lock. Then with the other hand unscrew the syringe cap in a counter-clockwise direction (Figure A).

⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS AZMIRO is contraindicated in: • Known hypersensitivity to AZMIRO or to any of its components [see Description ( 11 )]. Hypersensitivity, including skin manifestations and anaphylactoid reactions have been reported [ see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 ) ]. • Men with carcinoma of the breast or known or suspected carcinoma of the prostate gland [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ) ]. • Women who are pregnant. Testosterone can cause virilization of the female fetus when administered to a pregnant woman [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 ) ]. • Known hypersensitivity to AZMIRO or any of its components, skin manifestations and anaphylactoid reactions have been reported ( 4 ) • Men with carcinoma of the breast or known or suspected carcinoma of the prostate ( 4 ). • Women who are pregnant.
Testosterone may cause fetal harm ( 4 ).
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Polycythemia : Monitor hematocrit periodically during treatment. Discontinue AZMIRO, if necessary ( 5.1 ). • Venous thromboembolism (VTE) : VTE, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) have been reported in patients using testosterone products. Discontinue AZMIRO if VTE is suspected and initiate appropriate workup and management ( 5.2 ). • Worsening of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Potential Risk of Prostate Cancer : Monitor patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) for worsening of signs and symptoms of BPH.
Evaluate patients for prostate cancer, including monitoring prostate specific antigen (PSA) prior to initiating and during treatment with androgens ( 5.3 ). • Blood Pressure Increases : Testosterone can increase blood pressure, which can increase cardiovascular risk over time. Measure blood pressure periodically. Not recommended for use in men with uncontrolled hypertension ( 5.4 ) • Abuse of Testosterone and Monitoring of Serum Testosterone : If testosterone use at doses higher than recommended for the approved indication and in combination with other anabolic androgenic steroids is suspected, check serum testosterone concentration ( 5.5 ) • Potential for Adverse Effects on Spermatogenesis : AZMIRO may cause azoospermia ( 5.7 , 8.3 ). • Edema : Edema, with or without congestive heart failure (CHF), may occur in patients with pre-existing cardiac, renal, or hepatic disease.
Discontinue AZMIRO and initiate appropriate workup ( 5.9 ). • Sleep Apnea : AZMIRO may potentiate sleep apnea in those with risk factors ( 5.10 ). • Lipid Changes : Testosterone may affect serum lipid profile. Monitor patient lipid concentrations; if necessary, adjust dosage of lipid lowering drug(s) or discontinue AZMIRO ( 5.12 ). • Adverse Effects on Bone Maturation : Testosterone may result in acceleration of bone age and premature closure of epiphyses in pediatric patients which may result in compromised adult stature.
Monitor the effect on bone maturation by assessing bone age of the wrist and hand every 6 months.
5.1Polycythemia Increases in hematocrit levels, reflective of increases in red blood cell mass, may require discontinuation of AZMIRO. Check that hematocrit is not elevated prior to initiating AZMIRO. Periodically monitor hematocrit levels during treatment.
If hematocrit becomes elevated, stop AZMIRO until hematocrit decreases to an acceptable concentration. If AZMIRO is restarted and again causes hematocrit to become elevated, stop AZMIRO permanently. An increase in red blood cell mass may increase the risk of thromboembolic events [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) ].
5.2Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) There have been postmarketing reports of venous thromboembolic events, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), in patients using testosterone replacement products, such as AZMIRO. In the Testosterone Replacement therapy for Assessment of long-term Vascular Events and efficacy ResponSE in hypogonadal men (TRAVERSE) Study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, cardiovascular (CV) outcomes study, compared to placebo, topical testosterone gel was associated with a numerically higher incidence of VTE (1.7% vs 1.2%) which included DVT (0.6% vs 0.5%) and PE events (0.9% vs 0.5%) [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .
Evaluate patients who report symptoms of pain, edema, warmth and erythema in the lower extremity for DVT and those who present with acute shortness of breath for PE. If a venous thromboembolic event is suspected, discontinue treatment with AZMIRO and initiate appropriate workup and management [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] .
5.3Worsening of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Potential Risk of Prostate Cancer • Patients with BPH treated with androgens are at an increased risk for worsening of signs and symptoms of BPH. Monitor patients with BPH for worsening signs and symptoms. • Patients treated with androgens may be at inc…

6.1Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of AZMIRO was evaluated, in Study 1, a randomized, single-dose, open-label study conducted in 27 adult males with hypogonadism. Patients were 18 to 65 years of age with a body mass index of 18 to 35 kg/m 2 .
Patients received a single intramuscular dose AZMIRO 200 mg or comparator intramuscular testosterone replacement therapy product and were observed for adverse reactions and injection site reactions over 31 days. The most common adverse reactions in patients who received AZMIRO were injection site erythema (26%) and injection site reaction (4%). All cases of injection site erythema and injection site reaction were categorized as mild based on a pre-defined injection site assessment scale that defined injection site reactions as mild if they were slight or barely perceptible.
Cardiovascular Outcomes TRAVERSE was a randomized, double-blind, cardiovascular outcomes study to assess the cardiovascular (CV) safety of topical testosterone gel compared to placebo in 5198 hypogonadal men aged 45 to 80 years with a history of CV disease or with multiple CV risk factors. The primary outcome was the incidence of the composite endpoint of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), consisting of CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and non-fatal stroke The mean duration of therapy was approximately 22 months.
The mean duration of follow-up was 33 months. Approximately 61% of all patients discontinued topical testosterone gel or placebo therapy. The mean patient age (±SD) was 63.3 (7.9) years, with 2452 patients aged 65 years or more (47%); 2847 (about 55%) patients had pre-existing cardiovascular disease, whereas 2357 patients (about 45%) had an elevated cardiovascular risk at baseline, and mean BMI was 35 kg/m 2 .
Approximately 80% of patients were White, 17% were Black, and 3% were of other races or ethnic groups. Approximately 69%, 84%, and 93% had diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, respectively. The mean serum testosterone concentration at baseline in patients receiving topical testosterone gel was 220.4 ng/dL (n=2596).
The mean serum testosterone concentrations at 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, and 48 months in patients receiving topical testosterone gel were 440.5 ng/dL (n=1683), 420.9 ng/dl (n=1125), 428.7 ng/dL (n=731), and 365.2 ng/dL (n=220), respectively. For patients tr…
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Insulin: In patients with diabetes, concomitant use with AZMIRO may decrease blood glucose and insulin requirements ( 7.1 ). • Oral Anticoagulants: Concomitant use with AZMIRO may cause changes in anticoagulant activity. Monitor International Normalized Ratio and prothrombin time frequently ( 7.2 ). • Corticosteroids: Concomitant use with AZMIRO may result in increased fluid retention. Use with caution, particularly in patients with cardiac, renal, or hepatic disease ( 7.3 ).
7.1Insulin Changes in insulin sensitivity or glycemic control may occur in patients treated with androgens. In diabetic patients, the metabolic effects of androgens may decrease blood glucose and, therefore, insulin requirements.
7.2Oral Anticoagulants Changes in anticoagulant activity may be seen with androgens. Frequent monitoring of INR and prothrombin time may be necessary in patients taking anticoagulants, especially at the initiation and termination of androgen therapy.
7.3Corticosteroids The concurrent use of testosterone with corticosteroids may result in increased fluid retention and should be monitored cautiously, particularly in patients with cardiac, renal or hepatic disease.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Geriatric Patients: Geriatric patients treated with androgens may also be at risk for worsening of signs and symptoms of BPH and prostatic carcinoma ( 8.5 ).
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary AZMIRO is contraindicated in pregnant women and not indicated for use in females [see Contraindications ( 4 )]. Testosterone is teratogenic and may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman based on data from animal studies ( see Data ) and its mechanism of action [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 ) ]. Exposure of a female fetus to androgens may result in varying degrees of virilization.
In animal developmental studies, exposure to testosterone in utero resulted in hormonal and behavioral changes in offspring and structural impairments of reproductive tissues in female and male offspring. These studies did not meet current standards for nonclinical development toxicity studies. Data Animal Data In developmental studies conducted in rats, rabbits, pigs, sheep and rhesus monkeys, pregnant animals received intramuscular injection of testosterone during the period of organogenesis.
Testosterone treatment at doses that were comparable to those used for testosterone replacement therapy resulted in structural impairments in both female and male offspring. Structural impairments observed in females included increased anogenital distance, phallus development, empty scrotum, no external vagina, intrauterine growth retardation, reduced ovarian reserve, and increased ovarian follicular recruitment. Structural impairments seen in male offspring included increased testicular weight, larger seminal tubular lumen diameter, and higher frequency of occluded tubule lumen.
Increased pituitary weight was seen in both sexes. Testosterone exposure in utero also resulted in hormonal and behavioral changes in offspring. Hypertension was observed in pregnant females and offspring in rats exposed to doses approximately twice those used for testosterone replacement therapy.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary AZMIRO is not indicated for use in females.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Infertility Males During treatment with large doses of exogenous androgens, including AZMIRO, spermatogenesis may be suppressed through feedback inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular-axis [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 ) ]. Reduced fertility is observed in some men taking testosterone replacement therapy. The impact on fertility may be irreversible.
Testicular atrophy, subfertility, and infertility have also been reported in men who abuse anabolic androgenic steroids [ see Drug Abuse and Dependence ( 9.2 ) ].
8.4Pediatric Use Improper use may result in acceleration of bone age and premature closure of epiphyses. The effect on bone maturation should be monitored by assessing bone age of the wrist and hand every 6 months. In children, androgen treatment may accelerate bone maturation without producing compensatory gain in linear growth.
This adverse effect may result in compromised adult stature. The younger the child the greater the risk of compromising final mature height. Precocious puberty has also been reported with use of testosterone.
The safety and effectiveness of AZMIRO have not been established in pediatric patients young than 12 years of age.
8.5Geriatric Use Geriatric patients treated with androgens may be at an increased risk of developing BPH and prostatic carcinoma [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )].

10 OVERDOSAGE There is one report of acute overdosage with use of an approved injectable testosterone product: this subject had serum testosterone levels of up to 11,400 ng/dL with a cerebrovascular accident. Treatment of overdosage consists of discontinuation of AZMIRO and appropriate symptomatic and supportive care.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Endogenous androgens, including testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), are responsible for normal growth and development of the male sex organs and for maintenance of secondary sex characteristics. These effects include growth and maturation of the prostate, seminal vesicles, penis, and scrotum; the development of male hair distribution, such as facial, pubic, chest, and axillary hair; laryngeal enlargement, vocal cord thickening, alterations in body musculature and fat distribution. Male hypogonadism, a clinical syndrome resulting from insufficient secretion of testosterone, has two main etiologies.
Primary hypogonadism is caused by defects of the gonads, such as Klinefelter's Syndrome or Leydig cell aplasia, whereas secondary hypogonadism is the failure of the hypothalamus (or pituitary) to produce sufficient gonadotropins (FSH, LH).
12.2Pharmacodynamics The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of testosterone have not been fully characterized.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption Testosterone esters are less polar than free testosterone. Testosterone esters in oil injected intramuscularly are absorbed slowly from the lipid phase; thus, AZMIRO can be given at intervals of two to four weeks. Pharmacokinetic parameters of baseline-corrected testosterone obtained following a single-dose intramuscular administration of AZMIRO 200 mg in prefilled syringe in 26 hypogonadal adult males are summarized in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Mean (±SD) Baseline-corrected Testosterone Pharmacokinetic Parameters Following a Single-dose Intramuscular Administration of AZMIRO 200 mg in Hypogonadal Males (N=26) Parameter Mean (±SD) AUC 0-t (hr·ng/dL) 137218.7 (±62360.0) C max (ng/dL) 758.0 (±288.7) T max (hr) 71.7 (24.0, 191.0) a a Reported in median (min, max). Distribution Circulating testosterone is primarily bound in serum to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin. Approximately 40% of testosterone in plasma is bound to SHBG, 2% remains unbound (free) and the rest is bound to albumin and other proteins.
Elimination The half-life of AZMIRO when injected intramuscularly is approximately eight days. Metabolism Inactivation of testosterone occurs primarily in the liver. Testosterone is metabolized to various 17-keto steroids through two different pathways.
The major active metabolites of testosterone are dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol. Excretion About 90 percent of a dose of testosterone is excreted in the urine as glucuronic and sulfuric acid conjugates of testosterone and its metabolites. About 6 percent of a dose is excreted in the feces, mostly in the unconjugated form.
