Oral testosterone (Andriol) isn't well absorbed in pill form.
Your dr will need to order new lab tests in a few weeks or months and increase the Andriol dose as needed.

You are very unlikely to experience the side effects listed unless you were overdosing by taking many Andriol pills a day.

In fact the opposite is likely you'll take to little thus being undertreated.
That's why regular labs are needed.
