Can Concerta Lower Testosterone Levels?
Hi, I m an extremely healthy 18 year old male who is addicted to fitness and lifting weights and am playing college football in the fall. I recently started taking 36 mgs of concerta and am scared that it will lower my testosterone levels. So my question is-can concerta lower testosterone levels

Hello,
Concerta has not been reported in scientific literature to have any bearing on testosterone level.
I am not aware of any published work of studies supporting ilthis side effect, anyway i would advice to stop the treatment and check the testosterone level, if it still persists low than other tests are needed to find the cause.
Hope this answers your query. In case of any doubts, I am available for the follow ups.
