Testosterone Scheduling

Meaning

Testosterone Scheduling is a clinical practice, primarily utilized in the context of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), that involves the precise planning and timing of exogenous testosterone administration to mimic the natural, pulsatile, or diurnal rhythm of the hormone in a healthy young male. This approach aims to maintain stable, physiological serum concentrations while minimizing supraphysiological peaks and troughs, thereby optimizing therapeutic efficacy and reducing the risk of adverse effects, such as hematocrit elevation or suppression of the HPG axis. Optimal scheduling is a cornerstone of responsible endocrine management.
