What Is the Testosterone Buccal Tablet?
The testosterone buccal tablet (
Striant™) is a prescription medication approved to treat
low testosterone levels in adult men due to various causes. It comes in a uniquely designed tablet that adheres to the cheeks or gums in the mouth (such tablets are known as "buccal tablets"). Testosterone is gradually absorbed directly through the cheeks or gums.
As an anabolic steroid, the testosterone buccal tablet is classified as a Schedule III
controlled substance in the United States. This means that special laws and regulations control its sale and use.
Just like any medicine, the testosterone buccal tablet can cause side effects.
However, not everyone who uses the drug will experience problems. Most people tolerate it quite well.
If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are treated easily by you or your healthcare provider. Serious reactions are less common.
Common side effects seen with the testosterone buccal tablet include but are not limited to:
- Gum irritation
- Bitter taste
- Gum pain
- Gum tenderness.
