Testosterone cypionate

What is testosterone cypionate?

Testosterone cypionate is an important testosterone-based medication used to treat low testosterone levels (or hypogonadism) in men. As an exogenous androgen, it helps restore normal testosterone levels, leading to improved energy, libido, strength, and other masculine characteristics that may be lacking.

Some key points about testosterone cypionate:

• It is a synthetic, long-acting form of the primary male sex hormone testosterone. The cypionate ester makes the testosterone release slower and steadier after an intramuscular injection.


• Used to treat testosterone deficiency (low T) when the body cannot produce enough testosterone on its own. Low T is quite common in aging men but can occur at any age.


• Available in injections (shots), typically given once every 1-2 weeks by a doctor. The injection allows the testosterone to be absorbed slowly into the bloodstream.


• Benefits include increased muscle mass and strength, reduced body fat, better mood and energy, increased bone density, boosted sex drive, and improved cognition and heart health.


• Potential side effects include acne, male pattern baldness, sleep apnea, prostate issues, gynecomastia, testicular atrophy, and increased red blood cell production. These should be monitored by regular lab testing with the prescribing physician.
