And yet all agreed that the free testosterone concentration is biological parameter generally regarded to reduce with aging male. The indication is for giving androgen to aging males due to androgen deficiency. Androgen deficiency in aging male is defined as being marked by conditions of asthenia, reduced muscular and bone mass, osteoporosis, decreased libido and impotency. The androgens preparations used are testosterone undecanoate and testosterone enanthate. Androgen treatment affects metabolism and other organs.
