Testosterone cyclohexylpropionate

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Testosterone cyclohexylpropionate is a synthetic anabolic steroid and a derivative of testosterone. It is one of the many synthetic versions of testosterone that have been created for medical use.

Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]

Testosterone cyclohexylpropionate is a modified form of testosterone, where a cyclohexylpropionate ester is attached to the testosterone molecule. This modification allows the drug to be released slowly into the body after it is injected, and it also makes the drug more fat-soluble.

Medical Uses[edit | edit source]

Testosterone cyclohexylpropionate is used in medicine to treat males who have low or no testosterone due to certain medical conditions. It is also used to treat certain types of breast cancer in women.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all anabolic steroids, testosterone cyclohexylpropionate can have significant side effects. These can include acne, hair loss, prostate enlargement, and increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

In many countries, including the United States, testosterone cyclohexylpropionate is a controlled substance. This means it is illegal to use or possess the drug without a prescription.
