What is testosterone cypionate?
Testosterone cypionate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone. It is often prescribed to treat low testosterone levels in men. Some key points about testosterone cypionate:
- Testosterone is an important hormone that promotes muscle growth, bone density, red blood cell production, and sex drive in men.
- Testosterone cypionate is an esterified form of testosterone designed to provide a slow and steady release of the hormone in the body after an intramuscular injection. This allows for less frequent injections compared to faster-acting forms.
- It is usually injected once every one to two weeks to maintain healthy testosterone levels in men with low levels due to hypogonadism, certain medical conditions, or aging (also called "low T").
- Potential side effects can include acne, hair loss, breast enlargement, mood changes, and swelling at the injection site. However, most men tolerate treatment well under a doctor's supervision.
