Provironum Tablet is primarily used to manage male hypogonadism, a condition characterised by low testosterone levels. This medicine belongs to a class of medications known as androgens.

Before you start taking this medicine, it's important to consult with your doctor, who will provide you with the ideal dosage and frequency based on your health condition. Make sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or current medications you are taking. If you experience any side effects whilst on this medicine, notify your doctor without delay.
