Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

Nandralone, which is an androgen like testosterone, can cause enlargement of the clitoris. Other androgen side effects can include deepening of the voice, growth of excess facial or body hair, acne, and muscle development. These side effects may not necessarily go away after discontinuing the medication. Therefore, I think it would be a good idea for you to make an appointment to see the doctor who prescribed the HRT so you can discuss this.

I should also mention that I'm not aware of any HRT preparation approved in the U.S. that contains Nandralone. It's important that you discuss this with your prescribing doctor as well. Make sure that what you are taking is approved by the FDA, and if it is not I would definitely seek a second opinion.

Best of luck,
