STRIANT is a unique system for providing testosterone to your body. It is a very small tablet-like product that you put in a comfortable position between your cheek and gum. Once there, STRIANT gradually releases testosterone that is absorbed into your bloodstream through your cheek and gum. This type of medication delivery is called “buccal” (BUCK-al) delivery. STRIANT should not be swallowed because testosterone is broken down by the digestive system and would not be useful to the body.

STRIANT is applied twice daily. This twice-a-day dosing allows it to keep your body’s testosterone at normal levels throughout the day. STRIANT delivers amounts of testosterone to your body that approximate amounts seen in healthy young men.

Placed properly, the buccal system will soften, producing a gel-like form that remains in place over each 12-hour dosing period. STRIANT is designed to stick to the tissue of your gum or cheek as it absorbs moisture. It will stay in place, gradually releasing testosterone that is absorbed through your gum and cheek directly into your bloodstream.

In clinical trials, between 87 and 97% of patients had an average testosterone concentration within the normal range.
