Description: Testosterone Cypionate is a slow-acting injectable form of the androgen testosterone. Following deep intramuscular injection, the drug is designed to provide a sustained release of testosterone into the bloodstream for approximately 2 to 3 weeks. In order to maintain normal physiological levels of testosterone during androgen replacement therapies, Injections of testosterone cyplonate are usually required at least every two weeks, although more meticulous physicians will administer the drug weekly. As with all testosterone injectables, testosterone cypionate is highly favored by athletes for its ability to promote strong increases in muscle mass and strength. How Supplied: 250 mg/ml, 10 ml clear glass sterile vials with hot stamping and Flip-off caps with (AKZOPHARMA) printed under transparent colorless plastic. Intramuscular use only. Side Effects (Estrogenic): Testosterone is readily aromatized in the body to estradiol (estrogen). The aromatase (estrogen synthetase) enzyme is responsible for this metabolism of testosterone. Elevated estrogen levels can cause side effects such as increased water retention, body fat gain, and gynecomastia. Testosterone is considered a moderately estrogenic steroid. Side Effects (Androgenic): Testosterone is the primary male androgen, responsible for maintaining secondary male sexual characteristics. Elevated levels of testosterone are likely to produce androgenic side effects including oily skin, acne, and body/facial hair growth. Men with a genetic predisposition for hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) may notice accelerated male pattern balding. Side Effects (Hepatotoxicity): Testosterone does not have hepatotoxic effects; liver toxicity is unlikely. Administration (Men): Although active in the body for a longer time, testosterone cypionate is usually injected on a weekly basis for muscle-building purposes The usual dosage for physique- or performance-enhancing purposes is in the range of 2O0-600 mg per week, taken in cycles 6 to 12 weeks in length. Administration (Women) Testosterone cypionate is not recommended for women for physique- or performances enhancing purposes due to its strong androgenic nature tendency to produce virializing side effects, and slow- acting characteristics (making blood levels difficult to control).
