Testosterone belongs to the class of medications called androgens (male hormones). This medication is used to replace testosterone in males who have conditions caused by low testosterone levels. It is also used to treat impotence (erectile difficulties or the inability to attain or maintain an erection) and other male sexual problems when they are caused by low testosterone levels. In some cases, this medication may be used to stimulate puberty in males with delayed puberty.
