Why have I been recommended an increased dose?

Blood Test Result Concerns

Your blood tests might show that your overall hormone levels are too low which can cause side effects like osteoporosis and fractures, and cardiovascular complications. You can read more about the risks associated with low hormone levels here


Insufficient Changes

If you are not experiencing the desired physical changes or are not progressing as expected, you may be recommended an increased dose.


Hormone Blocker Increase

If you're recommended a hormone blocker increase, this is likely because your blood test results indicate that the target hormones aren't being sufficiently suppressed.
