IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

What is Natesto?

Natesto is a controlled substance (CIII) because it contains testosterone that can be a target for people who abuse prescription medicines. Keep your Natesto in a safe place to protect it. Never give your Natesto to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms you have. Selling or giving away this medicine may harm others and is against the law.

What are the possible side effects of Natesto?

Natesto may cause serious side effects, including:

• Nose (nasal) problems. Signs and symptoms of nasal problems may include runny nose, congestion, sneezing, nose bleed, nasal discomfort, nasal scabbing, or nasal dryness.
• If you already have enlargement of your prostate gland, your signs and symptoms can get worse while using Natesto. This can include: increased urination at night, trouble starting your urine stream, having to pass urine many times during the day, having an urge that you have to go to the bathroom right away, having a urine accident, being unable to pass urine or weak urine flow.
• Possible increased risk of prostate cancer. Your healthcare provider should check you for prostate cancer or any other prostate problems before you start and while you use Natesto.

• Blood clots in your legs or lungs. Signs and symptoms of a blood clot in your legs can include leg pain, swelling or redness. Signs and symptoms of a blood clot in your lungs can include difficulty breathing or chest pain.
• Increased blood pressure. Natesto can increase your blood pressure, which can increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke over time. Your risk may be greater if you have already had a heart attack or stroke or if you have other risk factors for heart attack or stroke. You may need to start new medicines or have medicines changed for high blood pressure while on Natesto. If your blood pressure cannot be controlled, Natesto may need to be stopped. Your healthcare provider should check your blood pressure while you use Natesto.
