Hello, this is Darrell Castle. I’m an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Tennessee and on this video today, I’m talking about testosterone replacement therapy.
If you’ve had that therapy, then according to a study done recently on US veterans – it was done in November of 2013 – you are 30% more at risk of a cardiac event, like a heart attack, stroke or blood clot, a very serious thing that often results in death.
Now, enough of these studies have been done to lead one to believe that they’re really is something to these cardiac events. So, it’s something to be very very mindful of.
Many many studies have shown a link – a strong link – between testosterone replacement therapy and serious cardiac events, like heard attacks, stroke and blood clots. As I said, enough studies have been done to lead people to believe that.
Still, it’s under investigation right now. Nothing has been proven conclusively yet. And like always, if you take a prescription medication, be sure that you do not stop that medication without consulting your physician first. Just be mindful of these things and the fact that they can happen to you and that if you’re on one of these drugs, just be mindful of the fact that there is a greater-increased risk of cardiac event – heart attack, stroke or blood clot – when you’re taking it. You might want to discuss that with your physician, folks and be careful out there.
