Men who have breast cancer, prostate cancer, or who are allergic to testosterone that comes from soy or any
ingredients contained in the products should not take STRIANT. Women must not use STRIANT. Inform your
doctor immediately if any of the following symptoms appear while using STRIANT:
 |
Liver problems: Tell your doctor if your skin or white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice), if your urine turns dark, if your bowel movements (stool) turn light in color, if you don’t feel like eating for several days or longer, if you feel sick to your stomach (nausea), if you have lower abdominal pain (stomach) |
|
Problems urinating. Tell your doctor if you develop problems urinating while using STRIANT. Older patients
who use testosterone replacement therapies may have an increased chance of developing prostate
enlargement or prostate cancer |
|
Extra fluid in the body (edema). Edema can be dangerous if you have heart, kidney, or liver problems. Tell
your doctor if your ankles and legs swell or if you put on weight quickly |
|
Breathing problems, including a sleep problem called “sleep apnea.” Sleep apnea is when you stop breathing
for short times while you are sleeping. Tell your doctor if you have breathing problems or if you or your partner
notice changes in your breathing when you are sleeping
|
|
Penile erections that are painful, that occur too frequently, or that last for too long a duration |
|
Breast enlargement — which sometimes does not go away |
|
Emotional changes — such as depression |
STRIANT may also cause redness, irritation, swelling, pain at the gum application site, headache, and change
in how food tastes to you, a bitter taste in your mouth, or an unusual taste in your mouth. It may cause gum
infection (gingivitis). Gum side effects are usually temporary, and should resolve within several days. However,
some gum side effects may last up to 2 weeks. If you should have gum side effects, they usually resolve while
taking STRIANT.
With each application, you should rotate STRIANT to alternate sides of your mouth. You should regularly
examine your gums where STRIANT is applied. Any abnormal finding should be brought to the
attention of your physician. |
