Subcutaneous Testosterone Implant

Meaning

A subcutaneous testosterone implant is a long-acting, solid dosage form of crystalline testosterone, typically pressed into a small pellet, which is inserted beneath the skin, usually in the hip or buttock area, for the purpose of sustained hormone delivery. This method provides a steady, continuous release of testosterone into the systemic circulation over several months, avoiding the peaks and troughs associated with other administration routes. This implant offers a highly convenient and compliant therapeutic option for individuals requiring Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). Clinical monitoring remains essential to ensure stable and therapeutic hormone levels are maintained.
