Pellet Administration

Meaning

Pellet Administration is a method of hormone delivery involving the subcutaneous implantation of small, solid, cylindrical pellets containing compressed bioidentical hormones, typically testosterone or estradiol. This method is designed to provide a slow, continuous, and steady release of the hormone directly into the bloodstream over a period of several months, bypassing the daily fluctuations associated with other delivery systems. Clinically, it is valued for its convenience and ability to maintain stable, physiological hormone levels, although it requires a minor in-office procedure for insertion and removal. The sustained release kinetics offer a distinct pharmacokinetic advantage for some patients.
