question from a user
Are there any benefits of using different testosterone like propionate rather than cypionate? Upvote 2 Downvote Reply reply Share Share
AlphaMD's Answer
Generally no. Cypionate is fairly standard as the easiest to work with for a 2-3x weekly injection routine & as a result the pharmacy market caters to this. So in very rare cases it may make sense to use something else, or someone has a specific request, but it is almost always going to cost the patient more to use a less traditional option. We encounter this probably less then 0.5% of the time with our patients.
