Testosterone dipropionate

Testosterone Dipropionate is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) medication which is used primarily in the treatment of low testosterone levels in men. It is also used in hormone therapy for transgender men. It is given by injection into muscle usually once every one to four weeks.

Pharmacology

As a derivative of the primary endogenous androgen testosterone, testosterone dipropionate is an androgen receptor (AR) agonist. It is a strong agonist of the AR in various tissues like muscle and bone, and as such contributes to the growth and development of these tissues.

Medical Uses

Testosterone dipropionate is used primarily in the treatment of low testosterone levels in men, a condition known as hypogonadism. It is also used in hormone therapy for transgender men. It is given by injection into muscle usually once every one to four weeks.

Side Effects

Like all androgen and anabolic steroid medications, testosterone dipropionate can have side effects. These can include acne, breast enlargement in men, voice deepening in women, increased body hair, changes in sexual desire, and mood changes.
