Testosterone Administration Routes

Meaning

The distinct methods by which exogenous testosterone is delivered into the human body to achieve therapeutic goals, encompassing injections, transdermal gels or patches, buccal systems, and subcutaneous pellets. Each route presents a unique pharmacokinetic profile concerning absorption rate, peak-to-trough fluctuation, and potential for hepatic first-pass metabolism. Selection of the appropriate route is central to effective hormonal support.
