Injectable Hormone Therapy

Meaning

Injectable Hormone Therapy is a clinical method of administering bioidentical or synthetic hormones directly into the body, typically via subcutaneous or intramuscular routes, to correct hormonal deficiencies or imbalances. This modality is utilized for conditions such as testosterone deficiency, menopausal hormone therapy, and growth hormone deficiency, offering precise dosing and predictable absorption kinetics. The injectable route bypasses the hepatic first-pass metabolism, which often allows for greater bioavailability and more stable therapeutic hormone levels compared to oral formulations. Patient education on proper sterile technique is a crucial component of this therapeutic approach.
