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.
