Testosterone cypionate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone. It is typically used in hormone replacement therapy for men with low testosterone levels, also called hypogonadism or "low T."
Some key points about testosterone cypionate:
Why do men use testosterone cypionate?
Testosterone cypionate is primarily used in testosterone replacement therapy to help treat symptoms of low testosterone in men. Symptoms may include:
By replacing testosterone to normal levels, many of these symptoms may be improved.
Doctors may prescribe testosterone cypionate to help normalize testosterone levels and relieve associated symptoms in men with clinical hypogonadism or age-related decline in testosterone. Proper diagnosis requires evaluation of symptoms and blood tests.
How is testosterone cypionate administered?
Testosterone cypionate is given by intramuscular injection deep into a large muscle like the gluteal muscles. The prescriber will instruct on proper injection technique.
Doses range from 100-400mg every 2-4 weeks depending on the individual and formulation used. Doses are adjusted based on blood levels and symptom response.
Ongoing medical supervision is necessary when using testosterone cypionate to monitor for safety and efficacy.
