Subcutaneous Testosterone Cypionate

Meaning

A specific formulation of testosterone replacement therapy involving the synthetic androgen testosterone esterified with the cypionate side chain, administered via injection into the subcutaneous fat layer beneath the skin. This route of administration offers an alternative to intramuscular injection, providing a sustained release of testosterone into the circulation for the treatment of clinically diagnosed hypogonadism. The cypionate ester slows the absorption, allowing for less frequent dosing.
