Striant^®

 

(TESTOSTERONE BUCCAL SYSTEM)

Striant^® is the first-ever buccal system for testosterone delivery, meaning testosterone is delivered via a tablet-like product that adheres to the gum surface in the mouth. This patented delivery system is indicated for replacement therapy in men for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone.

The controlled- and sustained-release buccal system acts by adhering to the gum surface when placed in a comfortable position just above the incisor tooth (on either side of the mouth). The patented progressive hydration technology provides long-term adhesion that will not interfere with normal activities like eating, drinking, or chewing gum.

As the tablet is exposed to moisture, testosterone is absorbed into the bloodstream through the gum and delivered directly into the superior vena cava, bypassing the gastrointestinal system and liver. Because of this unique delivery system, and absorption occurring directly into the superior vena cava, there are no issues with transference of testosterone to partners or children.

 

Product Details

➢    The buccal system softens and molds to the shape of the gum, producing a gel-like form that remains in place over each 12-hour dosing period.

➢    It is recommended that Striant be rotated to alternate sides of the mouth with each application.

➢    Applying Striant to the gum takes less than a minute and can be done almost anywhere (e.g. at home, at work, etc.) and requires no titration.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Men who have breast cancer, prostate cancer, or who are allergic to testosterone that comes from soy or any ingredients contained in the products should not take STRIANT. Women must not use STRIANT. Testosterone supplements may cause fetal harm. Inform your doctor immediately if any of the following symptoms appear while using STRIANT:

• Liver problems – Tell your doctor if your skin or white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice), if your urine turns dark, if your bowel movements (stool) turn light in color, if you don’t feel like eating for several days or longer, if you feel sick to your stomach (nausea), if you have lower abdominal pain (stomach)
• Problems urinating – Tell your doctor if you develop problems urinating while using STRIANT. Older patients who use testosterone replacement therapies may have an increased chance of developing prostate enlargement or prostate cancer
• Extra fluid in the body (edema) – Edema can be dangerous if you have heart, kidney, or liver problems. Tell your doctor if your ankles and legs swell or if you put on weight quickly
• Breathing problems, including a sleep problem called “sleep apnea.” Sleep apnea is when you stop breathing for short times while you are sleeping. Tell your doctor if you have breathing problems or if you or your partner notice changes in your breathing when you are sleeping
• Penile erections that are painful, that occur too frequently, or that last for too long a duration
• Breast enlargement — which sometimes does not go away
• Emotional changes — such as depression

STRIANT may also cause redness, irritation, swelling, pain at the gum application site, headache, and change in how food tastes to you, a bitter taste in your mouth, or an unusual taste in your mouth. It may cause gum infection (gingivitis). Gum side effects are usually temporary, and should resolve within several days. However, some gum side effects may last up to 2 weeks. If you should have gum side effects, they usually resolve while taking STRIANT.
