Oxendolone is used in the treatment ofbenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) inJapan.[8][11] It has been used at a dosage of 200 mg once every 2 weeks viaintramuscular injection.[17] Although it is approved for the treatment of BPH in Japan, concerns have been raised about its use for this condition due to poor efficacy seen inclinical trials.[11]
Oxendolone is thegeneric name of the drug and itsINNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name,USANTooltip United States Adopted Name, andJANTooltip Japanese Accepted Name.[7][22] It is also known by its developmental code nameTSAA-291.[7][22]
