Testosterone cypionate is a long-acting injectable form of the male hormone testosterone. It is used to treat low testosterone levels in men with hypogonadism due to aging or other causes.
Testosterone cypionate works by slowly releasing the male hormone into the body over time. It typically needs to be injected every 1-2 weeks to maintain adequate testosterone levels in the blood. Testosterone is crucial for many essential functions in men:
Hypogonadism is a condition where the testes reduce or stop producing testosterone. Common symptoms in hypogonadization include:
Testosterone replacement therapy like testosterone cypionate injections can help relieve these symptoms and restore testosterone to normal healthy levels. The cypionate ester makes the testosterone's effects last longer with fewer peaks and valleys between doses.
When beginning testosterone cypionate TRT, men are typically started at a dose of 200mg every 2 weeks. Blood work is required to check hormone levels and make dosage adjustments over time. Close monitoring by an experienced physician specializing in hormone therapies is essential for safety and optimal treatment results.
