| Typical dose | In classic regimens described in the literature, doses typically fall in the range of 50-100mg weekly or 100-250mg every two-to-three weeks, given intramuscularly or subcutaneously. These are ranges used in clinical practice and described in the cited studies, not a recommendation for self-directed use — the specific dose and frequency are always set by the managing physician based on blood test results and clinical picture. | Not applicable — this entry describes a safety protocol, not therapy dosing |
| Form | Oil solution for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection | Monitoring: complete blood count with hematocrit every 3–6 months in the first year, PSA and digital rectal exam before starting and periodically thereafter, lipid panel once a year |

| Time to effects | Subjective improvement in energy and libido may become noticeable within the first 3-6 weeks of therapy, but full stabilization of hormone concentrations and a reliable assessment of therapeutic effect usually takes 3-6 months of regular injections and follow-up blood tests. | Not applicable — monitoring is an ongoing process that continues throughout the entire course of therapy. |
| Who it's for | Men with laboratory-confirmed hypogonadism starting testosterone replacement therapy | All patients starting or continuing TRT |
