Wikipedia
Methyltestosterone (brand names Android, Androral, Metandren, Oraviron, Testred, Virilon), also known as 17α-methyltestosterone, is a 17α- alkylated anabolic steroid used to treat males with a testosterone deficiency. It bears close structural similarity to testosterone, but has a methyl group at C17 in order to increase oral bioavailability. Due to aromatization to the metabolization-resistant estrogen 17α-methylestradiol, methyltestosterone has relatively high estrogenicity and hence side effects such as gynecomastia.
