Dosage and Side Effects
For stimulating underdeveloped androgen-dependent organs and initial treatment of endogenous testosterone deficiency symptoms, intramuscular administration of 50–200 mg of testosterone cypionate is prescribed every 2–4 weeks. Injection should be administered very slowly into the muscle. A dose exceeding 400 mg per month is not recommended, and treatment duration is determined individually.
Dosage is adjusted based on patient response and occurrence of adverse reactions. The appropriate dose is determined by the doctor, with lower doses recommended for older patients.
Testosterone Cypionate is strictly for intramuscular injection, and caution must be exercised to prevent entering a blood vessel. The ampoule solution can be used multiple times if sealed after the first injection.
Consult your doctor if you feel the effect is too strong or weak. Adhere to the agreed injection interval conditions. Discontinuation of the drug may lead to symptoms of testosterone deficiency.
While Testosterone Cypionate may cause side effects like acne and injection site pain, more common effects may include elevated red blood cell levels, weight gain, increased prostate-specific antigen, enlarged prostate size, and various injection site reactions.
