Testosterone cypionate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone. It is often used in hormone replacement therapy for men with low testosterone levels (a condition called hypogonadism). Some key things to know:
- What is testosterone? Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for traits like muscle mass, bone density, body hair growth, a deep voice, and sex drive.
- Why use testosterone cypionate? If a man's body does not produce enough natural testosterone, testosterone cypionate injections can help restore normal hormone levels. This helps alleviate low-T symptoms like low energy, diminished sex drive, and loss of muscle mass. The cypionate ester makes the testosterone get absorbed slowly into the body.
- How is it administered? Testosterone cypionate is given as a deep intramuscular injection, typically every 1-2 weeks. The injection site needs to be cycled to avoid irritation or buildup of scar tissue.
- What are the side effects? Potential side effects include acne, sleep apnea, breast enlargement, testicular atrophy, and changes in cholesterol levels. However, your doctor will monitor you for any side effects.
