| Category | TRT | TRT |
| Evidence strength | Moderate evidence | Strong evidence |
| Evidence Score | 4/5 | 5/5 |
| User rating | 4.6 (187) | 4.7 (52) |
| Typical dose | Loading phase: 1000mg intramuscularly at week 0 and again at week 6. Maintenance phase: 1000mg every 10–14 weeks, individually fine-tuned based on trough levels. (The US equivalent, Aveed, uses a different dose: 750mg in 3mL, administered under the mandatory REMS program.) | Not applicable — this piece describes the full diagnostic pathway preceding TRT, not a drug dosing schedule |
| Form | Oily solution for intramuscular injection, administered only by a physician or nursing staff at a medical facility | Blood tests: total testosterone (2x morning), free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, prolactin, estradiol, complete blood count with hematocrit, PSA, lipid panel, fasting glucose or HbA1c, liver function tests, TSH; plus a digital rectal exam and an ADAM/AMS symptom questionnaire |
| Average price | ok. 250–400 zł za jedną ampułkę (1000 mg/4 ml), do czego dochodzi koszt wizyty i podania w placówce medycznej | — |
| Monthly cost | przy schemacie co 10–14 tygodni — realnie ok. 60–130 zł/miesiąc uśrednionego kosztu samego leku, plus regularne koszty wizyt i badań kontrolnych | — |
| Time to effects | Trough testosterone stays within the normal range from the very first injection in clinical trials, but the full clinical effect and the stabilization of metabolite ratios (DHT, estradiol) are only established after the loading phase is complete — that is, after the second dose at week 6 and entry into the maintenance rhythm. | Not applicable — a diagnostic pathway preceding any possible start of therapy, usually taking several weeks. |
| Who it's for | Men with confirmed hypogonadism who prefer a noticeably less frequent injection schedule than enanthate or cypionate | Men with symptoms suggesting testosterone deficiency (reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, chronic fatigue, loss of muscle mass) considering TRT |
