JATENZO is the most prescribed softgel treatment for testosterone replacement with a safe delivery to help reach and keep normal testosterone levels. Take it twice daily with food and get on with your day.

Taking JATENZO twice a day with food helps keep testosterone levels right where they should be. No two men are alike, so why should their testosterone replacement treatment be? With JATENZO, your doctor can dial in a dose thatߴs right for your specific needs.

JATENZO is designed to safely deliver testosterone undecanoate. When taken orally, testosterone undecanoate combines with particles called  lipoproteins. These particles are then exclusively absorbed by the intestinal lymphatic system – a pathway that delivers testosterone undecanoate directly into the general blood and bypasses the liver.
