Testosterone cypionate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone. It is often prescribed to treat low testosterone levels in men and rarely for other conditions like breast cancer in women.
Some key points about testosterone cypionate:
- It is a synthetic version of the naturally-occurring male hormone testosterone. The cypionate ester slows the release of the testosterone from the injection site into the bloodstream.
- It is given as an intramuscular injection, usually every 2-4 weeks. Common injection sites include the buttocks, thighs, or shoulders.
- Testosterone cypionate injections help increase testosterone levels in men who have clinically low levels. Maintaining normal testosterone is essential for energy, muscle mass, bone health, and more.
- Potential side effects may include acne, sleeping problems, changes in cholesterol, and changes in emotional health. Testosterone therapy also carries a warning for increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
