Testosterone Therapies to Treat “Low T”
For years, supplemental testosterone therapies were given to men who suffered from hormonal deficiencies as a way to help restore their natural balance and reduce the medical risks associated with low hormone levels. However, in recent years these therapies have been mass marketed as “lifestyle product” to men who may not understand the risks associated with these treatments. Most people are familiar with advertisements touting treatments that claim to help men dealing with decreased sex drive, reduced muscle mass, changes in mood or behavior, or low energy. These ads suggest that these changes are caused by “low T,” and encourage men to seek treatment, including supplemental testosterone therapies applied topically.
Name Brand Testosterone Therapies include but are not limited to:
- Androgel
- Androderm
- Axiron
- Bio T-Gel
- Dalatestryl
- Depo-Testosterone
- Forestra
- Striant
- Testim
- Testopel
Testosterone Therapy Risks and Injuries
A number of men who have been treated for “low T” using testosterone therapies have experienced serious injuries including:
- Heart attacks
- Strokes
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Pulmonary embolisms
Recent studies have linked testosterone therapy to an increased risk for cardiovascular problems for some users. One such study released by the Journal of the American Medical Association suggested that men being treated with testosterone therapies were 30 % more likely to suffer a stroke, heart attack, or death than those men who did not receive supplemental testosterone therapy.
On January 31, 2014 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that it is investigating these risks in men taking FDA-approved testosterone products.
How to Take Action
Many of the health issues associated with supplemental testosterone therapies stem from the manufacturers’ failures to appropriately assess the risks among men with prior histories of cardiovascular issues. Our attorneys are currently investigating individual claims for men who suffered significant health problems following the use of testosterone therapy.
If you have suffered a heart attack, stroke, or lost a loved one who was using testosterone therapy, our attorneys may be able to help you take legal action against the drug manufacturers to seek compensation for the harm caused to you.

Testimonials
Not only were they so professional but also so caring and thoughtful. It was very difficult going over the facts in our mother's case but they were so compassionate and understanding and allowed us to be with them every step of the way. We were able to sit in on the depositions and we were really able to see how hard they worked on our behalf.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Perconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude.
They were most patient and responded timely to many questions throughout the entire process. All demonstrated professionalism and extensive knowledge of case and state laws. Their in-depth investigative work uncovered details which were unknown to us and yet sadly confirmed our suspicions. We would recommend the Levin and Perconti Law firm and especially this team.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Peconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude. My family and I will always be grateful for the compassion that they showed us. I want to thank you for what you did for my family, and for always being there for us.
Margaret’s representation, guidance, and professionalism gave us the sense that we could put our trust in Levin & Perconti and the final outcome proved that to be true.
