Dr. Johanna Fricke answered

Specializes in Pediatrics - Developmental and Behavioral

Lower testosterone : levels. They should only be prescribed by a pediatric endocrinologist for precocious puberty or a few other endocrine disorders, as they can have serious side effects. Some are herbicides. The one called Spiro can increase potassium, which can lead to death.
