Exogenous Testosterone Support Agents

Meaning

Exogenous Testosterone Support Agents are pharmaceutical or nutraceutical compounds administered alongside or after the use of external testosterone therapy (TRT) to mitigate potential side effects and maintain optimal hormonal balance. These agents are essential for managing the secondary effects of TRT, which can include the suppression of endogenous testosterone production and the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. The clinical necessity of these agents ensures a safer and more physiologically balanced therapeutic experience for the patient. Effective use requires consistent monitoring of key biomarkers, including estradiol, hematocrit, and luteinizing hormone.
