About Mestilon Tablet

Mestilon Tablet is an androgen (male hormone) that belongs to the class of ‘anabolic agents’, primarily used to treat low testosterone (natural male hormone or androgen) levels in men with hypogonadism. It is used to treat androgen deficiency and male infertility due to low hormone levels. Mestilon Tablet is indicated for use in male patients only. Hypogonadism, also known as gonad deficiency, is a condition that occurs when the sex glands or gonads (testes in men) produce little or no hormones.

Mestilon Tablet contains Mesterolone, a synthetic steroid hormone. It works by maintaining the development and growth of male sex organs by acting as a supplement to testosterone's natural male hormone. As an anabolic agent, it stimulates the development of mass, strength, and power. Mestilon Tablet helps in maintaining proper sexual functions and develops secondary sexual characteristics.
