If you take both, your doctor will need to watch you closely, especially when starting or stopping testosterone treatment. You may need more frequent blood tests—such as prothrombin time and INR—to check how your blood is clotting.

Testosterone taken with ACTH or corticosteroids can increase the risk of fluid retention (edema). Because of this, doctors should be careful when giving these together, especially to patients who have heart or liver problems or are already at risk of swelling.
