A number of drugs alter testosterone levels, including some that are recreational or over the counter. Here are some:
Alcohol - May increase estrogen levels and indirectly lower testosterone.
Cimetidine (Tagamet) - This is a heartburn medication. It shuts down certain enzymes, including the enzyme needed for removing estrogen from the body. As such, estrogen levels may increase, and testosterone levels may decrease.
Dutasteride (Avodart) and Finasteride (Proscar, Propecia)- These are DHT blockers which are used to treat prostate disease and hair loss in males. DHT is a stronger version of testosterone. Men taking either can possibly experience some erectile difficulty or diminished libido.
Spironolactone - It is an older hypertension medication and diuretic. It is also taken by male-to-female transsexuals to block testosterone and other androgens.
Testosterone - If you don't have enough, then taking testosterone would increase it. However, if you take more than necessary, it will shut down your body's ability to create its own. In addition, excessive testosterone gets converted to estrogen.
