Yes, Meklon D may cause acne. For treating acne, one must talk to a doctor. There are many over the counter creams available for treating acne such as topical antibiotics, creams containing ingredients like retinoids, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, isotretinoin, etc. There are many herbal creams also available which contain ingredients like fuller's earth, aloe vera, etc. However, it is best to see a doctor who is likely to prescribe a cream as per the skin type and severity of one's acne. Acne can be prevented or managed by eating a low carb, low fat and high protein diet, by treating hormonal issues and staying stress-free.

No, Meklon D does not raise the testosterone levels. In fact, it may suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and decrease the synthesis of endogenous testosterone.

Meklon D is an exogenous androgen which resembles the endogenous androgen testosterone. Meklon D promotes protein metabolism and stimulates appetite which counters the catabolic processes in the body. It affects the lean body mass, bone resorption and bone density in patients. It also affects blood glucose, calcium metabolism, and erythrocyte production.

Low levels of testosterone represent a condition in males known as hypogonadism. Meklon D might be helpful in hypogonadism as testosterone replacement therapy because it is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring testosterone which works in almost similarly to natural testosterone in the body.
