Testosterone cypionate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone. It is often prescribed to treat low testosterone levels in men, a condition called hypogonadism that can cause symptoms like low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, decreased energy, and depression.
Testosterone cypionate works by supplying the body with extra testosterone to restore normal hormone levels. After an injection, the testosterone is gradually released into the bloodstream over the course of 1-2 weeks before another dose is needed. This makes it a convenient therapy that doesn't require daily injections.
Some key points about testosterone cypionate:
- It is typically injected into the buttocks or thigh muscle once every 1-2 weeks. The dosage may be adjusted based on blood work and symptom response.
- Like other forms of testosterone therapy, it comes with side effects like acne, hair loss, breast enlargement, mood changes and impact on heart health and fertility.
- It is a controlled substance and a prescription is required. Brand names include Depo-Testosterone and Watson.
For those considering testosterone therapy, have a full health evaluation to determine if low T is causing bothersome symptoms.
Discuss the pros and cons with a doctor experienced in treating low testosterone. Share any medical conditions and medications to assess potential risks.
