Testosterone cypionate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone. It is often prescribed to treat low testosterone levels in men and rarely for hormone therapy in transgender men.
Some key points about testosterone cypionate:
- It is a slow-releasing testosterone ester injected intramuscularly, typically every 1-2 weeks. The cypionate ester makes the testosterone get absorbed slowly into the bloodstream.
- It helps restore normal testosterone levels in men with hypogonadism (low T). This helps relieve symptoms like low energy, weak erections, loss of muscle mass, etc.
- Dosages are typically 200-400 mg every 2 weeks. Levels should be monitored with bloodwork to avoid overly high or low testosterone levels.
- Potential side effects include acne, hair loss, prostate issues, liver toxicity, mood changes, gynecomastia, etc. These should be promptly reported to the prescribing physician.
If you are struggling with symptoms of low T, have a discussion with your doctor. Get your testosterone levels tested, as well as overall health markers.
Treatment with bioidentical testosterone therapy may help restore your vitality and masculinity.
