AndrogenIndication Dosage
Testosterone is a natural hormone that is primarily produced in the testes in men and in the ovaries in women, although it is present in both sexes in varying amounts. Synthetic forms of testosterone, such as testosterone cypionate and testosterone enanthate, may be used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including:
- Hypogonadism or low testosterone levels in men
- Delayed puberty or other developmental issues in boys
- Breast cancer in women (in combination with other medications)
- Osteoporosis or bone loss in menopausal women
- Anemia associated with chronic renal failure or chemotherapy
Testosterone may also be used illicitly for performance-enhancing purposes or to build muscle mass, which can lead to serious health risks and side effects. It is important to use testosterone only under the supervision of a healthcare provider and to follow the recommended dosage and administration guidelines to minimize potential risks and complications.
Dosage:
Starting doses of testosterone cypionate or enanthate range from 50-400 mg every 2-4 weeks. Transdermal patches or gels may be applied daily, with dosages ranging from 2.5 to 10 mg per day. For delayed puberty in boys, testosterone enanthate dosage is typically 50-200 mg every 2-4 weeks for a limited duration.
