Testosterone is the primary androgen or male reproductive (sex) hormone produced naturally in the body. Normal male sexual development, including the sex organs, increases in muscle mass, facial hair, and deep voice, depends on testosterone. Testosterone replaces natural hormone in men with low testosterone production, underdeveloped testes, and/or impotence. Testosterone can help to stimulate delayed puberty and help to treat certain breast cancers in women. Generic testosterone injections are available.

The drug is used in cases of deficiency of androgens; in primary and secondary hypogonadism; late puberty in boys; hormone dependent breast cancer in women, as a hormonal therapy for palliative treatment.
