This statistic displays the percentage of men enrolled in testosterone therapy prescriptions as of 2014 based on prior prescription. Some 15.5 percent of men enrolled in testosterone therapy prescriptions had prescriptions for beta blockers before that. Testosterone therapy has been used to diminish the affects of aging in men. There has been some studies done on the possibility that testosterone therapy may increase the risk of myocardial infarction, or heart attacks.
