Buck­ing the trend, Antares gains FDA OK for testos­terone in­jec­tion on sec­ond try

A year af­ter its testos­terone re­place­ment ther­a­py was spurned at the FDA, Antares Phar­ma has snatched an OK from an agency that has made its dis­like for such treat­ments well known.

Antares can now be­gin mar­ket­ing three dif­fer­ent dos­es of Xyost­ed, a sub­cu­ta­neous au­to-in­jec­tor con­tain­ing testos­terone enan­thate, though the ap­proval does come with a boxed warn­ing about blood pres­sure in­creas­es and sub­se­quent el­e­vat­ed risk for car­dio­vas­cu­lar prob­lems.
