To replace the hormone when the body is unable to produce enough on its own.
-
To stimulate the beginning of puberty in certain boys who are late starting puberty naturally.
-
To treat certain types of breast cancer in females.
In addition, some of these medicines may be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
