Testosterone cypionate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone. It is often prescribed to treat low testosterone levels in men and rarely to treat specific conditions in women.
Some key points about testosterone cypionate:
- It is a synthetic version of the natural male hormone testosterone that is suspended in cottonseed oil for slower absorption into the body after injection. This allows for less frequent dosing compared to other forms of injectable testosterone.
- It is primarily prescribed for men with documented low testosterone (hypogonadism) to restore normal levels. Some signs of low testosterone include low energy, decreased muscle mass, erectile dysfunction and loss of sex drive.
- For men, it helps balance hormone levels to maintain sexual function, energy, strength and endurance. It may also have benefits for bone density and red blood cell production.
- The recommended dosage is typically between 100mg and 200mg injected once every 1-2 weeks. Doses are adjusted based on lab work and symptom improvement.
- Like all medications, it can have side effects and is only appropriate for those with a medical need for supplemental testosterone at doctor-prescribed doses. Monitoring is important.
