The cost of testosterone replacement therapy can vary based on the type, brand, and dosage of the testosterone you are prescribed.
Before we discuss how much does it cost for testosterone therapy, there is something else particularly important to keep in mind if you are considering testosterone therapy. If you have low testosterone you should not try to save money by obtaining testosterone without a doctor’s prescription or from less than reputable sources. Doing so could put your health and safety at risk.
Trying to save money on the cost of testosterone by getting testosterone without a prescription from your doctor is not only illegal, but it could also be dangerous.
There are several explanations as to why the cost of testosterone therapy varies from patient to patient. Testosterone therapy comes in several forms. Prescription testosterone injections tend to be more expensive than other forms of testosterone.
However, before you try to reduce the cost of testosterone therapy by asking your doctor to prescribe something less expensive, such as testosterone gel, or testosterone cream, understand that testosterone injections are recognized as the most effective form oftestosterone therapy.
Also, depending on your symptoms, testosterone level, and lifestyle, you may or may not be a candidate for these other types of testosterone therapy. Leave the decision of what kind of testosterone therapy is right for you to your doctor and not to your budget.
Other than delivery method, other factors that can impact how much your testosterone therapy costs include:
Understand that if you are shopping for testosterone therapy, the cost is a factor, but it really should not be the deciding factor on the testosterone clinic or testosterone doctor you choose. Do not cut corners when it comes to your healthcare. Remember, as in any other purchase – you get what you pay for.
The cost of testosterone replacement therapy can vary based on the type, brand, and dosage of the testosterone you are prescribed.
It is hard to say exactly how much any patient will pay for testosterone therapy in the United States. This is simply because there are quite a few variables that go into your individual treatment. Your age, your weight, your fitness level, and your lifestyle can all impact the type of testosterone you are prescribed, and therefore, its cost. However, that all being said, on average, testosterone treatments cost about 750.00 per month.
Testosterone is prescribed in many forms, such as topical gels, patches, subdermal pellets, and testosterone injections. The cost of testosterone also differs by form. Our doctors have found testosterone injections to be the safest and most effective form of testosterone therapy. Therefore, the costs of testosterone discussed on this page are for testosterone injections.
All testosterone injections are prescribed as different “esters.” The most commonly prescribed esters of testosterone injections are testosterone enanthate, testosterone cypionate, and testosterone propionate. They differ in their molecular structure, but all are a variant of testosterone.
