Description
Testosterone cypionate is a testosterone ester that we compound in a medium chain triglyceride oil-base. The cypionate ester is thought to absorb more slowly than others. In addition, the oil-based excipient is a compatible solubilizing base that helps make the compound uniform which may be considered for depot injection. Because of the cypionate ester and the oil excipient, it is often considered to help slow the release of the active ingredient, so less frequent administration may be possible.
We are also one of the only compounders that offers a testosterone cypionate and testosterone propionate combination injection. Like our testosterone cypionate compound, this combination is compounded in a medium chain triglyceride oil-base. It contains two active ingredients, testosterone cypionate and testosterone propionate, plus an oil excipient. The propionate ester of testosterone is thought to have more rapid absorption compared to the cypionate ester because of its more hydrophilic nature. By combining these two esters in one compound, there might be a more immediate increase in testosterone from the propionate ester that is then sustained over a longer period of time due to the cypionate ester. This combination compound may help smooth out some peaks and valleys that might otherwise occur.
Both forms of our testosterone injections are compounded in miglyol oil. Healthcare providers report preferring this oil because of:
- its naturally occurring anti-inflammatory properties;
- its low reactivity rates; and
- the limited discomfort it creates during the injection.
Historically, testosterone injections have been compounded in grapeseed oil. However, the availability of pharmaceutical-grade grapeseed oil is limited, and regulatory requirements mandate the use of excipients that meet specific quality and safety standards. Carie Boyd Pharmaceuticals uses pharmaceutical-grade MIGLYOL® 812 N oil to ensure quality and safety standards are met.
How to Use:
Testosterone cypionate, a steroid hormone, is often administered intramuscularly every 1-2 weeks. Dosing adjustments are based on individual patient testing and testosterone levels. Needle size or the duration of the compound vary from patient to patient. We invite providers to contact our dedicated team of pharmacists for consultations and guidance.
Safe Storage:
Ensure the injection vials are stored at room temperature and are protected from light exposure.
