AndroGel® is the first-ever testosterone replacement gel
to be approved by the FDA for replacement therapy in men for conditions
associated with low testosterone. Low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism,
affects approximately four to five million American men. The condition
is linked to diminished interest in sex, impotence, reduced lean body
mass, decreased bone density, lowered mood and increased fatigue. Androgens
are contraindicated in men with carcinoma of the breast, or known or suspected
carcinoma of the prostate. AndroGel® has not been clinically evaluated
in males under 18 years of age. AndroGel® is not indicated for use
in women, has not been evaluated in women, and must not be used in women.
Pregnant women should avoid skin contact with AndroGel® application
sites in men. Testosterone may cause fetal harm. Please see full prescribing
information.

ANADROL®-50 is an anabolic-androgenic steroid for the treatment
of anemia resulting from deficient production of red blood cells. ANADROL®-50
is the only oral anabolic-ancdrogenic steroid approved by the FDA to treat
red blood cell deficiency anemias.
ANADROL®-50 is contraindicated in: male patients with carcinoma of
the prostate or breast; females with hypercalcemia with carcinoma of the
breast; women who are or may become pregnant; patients with nephrosis
or the nephrotic phase of nephritis; patients with hypersensitivity to
the drug or with severe hepatic dysfunction.
Warnings: peliosis hepatis, a condition in which liver and sometimes splenic tissue
is replaced with blood-filled cysts, has been reported in patients receiving androgenic
anabolic steroid therapy. Liver cell tumors are also reported. Most often these tumors
are benign and androgen-dependant, but fatal malignant tumors have been reported.
Blood lipid changes that are known to be associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis
are seen in patients treated with androgens and anabolic steroids.
Please see full boxed warning for more information on these conditions in the full
prescribing information.

MARINOL®, a synthetic formulation of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol,
is approved as an appetite stimulant for HIV/AIDS patients and as an antiemetic
to stem the nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy. MARINOL®
should be used with caution in patients with cardiac disorders, a history
of substance abuse, mania, depression or schizophrenia.
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) rescheduled MARINOL® from Schedule
II to Schedule III, a move that indicates a lower abuse potential for
the product, and allows doctors to write refills for MARINOL®.
