Testred is a man-made form of testosterone, a naturally occurring sex hormone that is produced in a man's testicles. Small amounts of testosterone are also produced in a woman's ovaries and adrenal system.

Testred is used in men and boys to treat conditions caused by a lack of this hormone, such as delayed puberty or other hormonal imbalances. This medicine is also used in women to treat breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

Testred may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
