Testosterone enanthate

What is testosterone enanthate?

Testosterone enanthate (also known as Primoteston Depot) is an injectable form of the androgen hormone testosterone. It is one of the most commonly used forms of testosterone used to treat low testosterone levels or hypogonadism in men.

Some key facts about testosterone enanthate:

• It is an extended-release injectable form of testosterone that is typically injected once every 3-4 weeks. The drug slowly releases testosterone into the bloodstream over time.


• It is composed of the hormone testosterone which has been attached to the enanthate ester to delay its release into the bloodstream after injection.


• The goal of testosterone enanthate therapy is to help normalize testosterone levels which often helps relieve symptoms of low T such as low energy, decreased libido, less muscle mass, etc.


• This form of testosterone is longer-acting than shorter-acting forms like testosterone propionate, so it requires less frequent injections. Most doctors prescribe testosterone enanthate shots of 200-400mg every 3-4 weeks.

Who is testosterone enanthate therapy for?

Testosterone enanthate injections are FDA-approved as hormone replacement therapy for men who have a condition called hypogonadism. This is a condition where the testes do not produce enough testosterone. Some common causes of low testosterone include:

• Age-related testosterone decline


• Damage/injury to the testes


• Pituitary gland disorders


• Some medications, anabolic steroid use, and chronic illness

If low T is impacting your energy, sex drive, and quality of life, be sure to talk to your doctor. Blood testing can determine if the cause is hypogonadism and whether you are a candidate for testosterone enanthate therapy.

What are the benefits of testosterone enanthate?

When used properly under medical supervision, many hypogonadal men find that testosterone injections lead to:

• Increased energy and stamina


• Improved sex drive and function


• Positive mood changes and reduced irritability


• Increased muscle mass and strength


• Reduced body fat


• Stronger bones and improved red blood cell production

By correcting low testosterone levels, many men feel like they regain lost youthful qualities and vigor. Always work closely with your doctor to keep levels in the normal healthy range - too high or too low testosterone can cause side effects.
