Contraindications: Not suitable for individuals with existing hepatic impairment, prostate pathology, or cardiovascular disease history. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must not use this compound. Individuals under 21 years of age should not use any supraphysiological androgenic compound.
Side Effects: Androgenic effects including acne, accelerated scalp hair thinning, and sebaceous gland overactivity are reported at supraphysiological doses. Hepatic enzyme elevation (ALT/AST) is associated with 17α-alkylated oral androgens and requires active monitoring. Endogenous testosterone suppression begins early in the cycle and is dose-duration dependent. Mood changes, libido fluctuation, and sleep architecture disruption have been reported by users.
Monitoring: Liver function tests (ALT, AST, bilirubin) are recommended at cycle midpoint and within two weeks post-cycle. Lipid panel monitoring — specifically LDL elevation and HDL suppression — should be conducted before, during, and after use. Blood pressure measurement throughout the active cycle is advisable given androgenic cardiovascular effects.
PCT: Post-cycle therapy with a SERM (selective estrogen receptor modulator) such as clomiphene or tamoxifen is strongly recommended following any methyltestosterone cycle to support restoration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. PCT should commence within 24–48 hours of the final tablet given the compound's short systemic clearance. Duration of PCT is typically 4 weeks at standard SERM dosing protocols.
