its a known fact that testosterone will increase RBC, but there is a simple fix for this as you all know, donate! however I agree that this side needs to be added to the label as many doctors today have no clue how to treat it, some even refuse to give a script for blood letting. so I agree with FDA on adding this side effect to the label.
