Testosterone cypionate is an injectable form of the primary male sex hormone, testosterone. It is often prescribed to treat low testosterone levels in men.
Some key points about testosterone cypionate:
- It is a synthetic version of the testosterone that is naturally produced in the body. The cypionate ester extends the duration of action of the drug.
- It is given as an intramuscular injection, typically every 1-2 weeks, to maintain testosterone levels in a normal range.
- Common brand names include Depo-Testosterone and Watson.
- It is used to treat symptoms of low testosterone such as low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, fatigue, and mood changes.
Why take testosterone cypionate?
There are several reasons a doctor may prescribe this drug:
- To replace testosterone in men with hypogonadism, which is low testosterone due to problems in the testes. This helps restore normal testosterone function.
- To relieve symptoms in men with very low natural testosterone due to aging or chronic illness. This is referred to as "low T."
- To help rebuild muscle in men with long-term corticosteroid use or weight loss from illness.
So in short,
testosterone cypionate is used to bring testosterone levels back to an adequate range when the body cannot produce enough testosterone on its own.
