¿Debo evitar testosterone durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
Testosterone is an active androgen with multiple animal and human-data indications that excess maternal androgens can affect fetal development; regulatory safety data sheets and ECHA records show reproductive-toxicity labeling (many sources apply H360/H361/H362). While I did not find a clear harmonised CLP entry in Annex VI for testosterone on ECHA’s public harmonised list, the weight of peer-reviewed animal evidence supports a ‘suspected’ reproductive hazard (H361-level).

- ¿Es testosterone seguro durante la lactancia?
- Androgens (including testosterone) are contraindicated in pregnancy and are reported to be potentially harmful via breast‑feeding (H362 on many SDS/classifications); mechanism is well‑characterised (androgen receptor activity and systemic distribution), so if maternal systemic exposure occurs transfer into milk and effects on suckling infants are plausible. Evidence is mostly from pharmacology/toxicology and regulatory/MSDS classifications. ([serva.de](https://www.serva.de/upload/msdssdb/35/sd_35800_GB_.pdf?utm_source=openai))
- ¿Es testosterone seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Testosterone is a biologically active androgen (mechanism well‑characterized) and animal studies show developmental/organisational effects from prenatal and early-life androgen exposure; topical formulations (e.g., testosterone gels) are known to produce systemic absorption, so baby skin exposure would have higher relative systemic exposure (immature barrier, higher surface‑area‑to‑weight) and therefore higher exposure concern. Score increases exposure level for baby skin by +1. ([pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9323463/?utm_source=openai))
