Testosterone-Cypionate Uses

Testosterone-Cypionate injection is a prescription androgen used to treat symptoms of low testosterone in men who have hypogonadism (a condition in which the body does not produce enough natural testosterone). Testosterone-Cypionate is used only for men with low testosterone levels that are caused by certain medical conditions, including diseases of the testicles, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus that cause hypogonadism. 

This medicine is not for use in treating the symptoms of low testosterone in men associated with aging (age-related hypogonadism).
