Pharmacodynamic properties

Testosterone Cypionate is a testosterone ester. Testosterone is the primary androgen hormone synthesized and released by the testes. It is responsible for the growth and development of male sexual organs and secondary sexual characteristics (maturation of the prostate, seminal vesicles, penis, and scrotum), male distribution of the hair (without, pubis, chest), development of the larynx, body musculature and fat distribution. It retains nitrogen, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, increases anabolism, and reduces protein catabolism. A premature increase in plasma testosterone concentration during the prepubertal period causes epiphyses to close and growth to stop. It stimulates the production of erythropoietin and erythrocytes. Through feedback mechanism, it inhibits the secretion of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating pituitary and causes suppression of spermatogenesis. In women, it inhibits the pituitary gonotrophic function, ovarian function, mammary glands, endometrial atrophy. Due to estrogen-antagonistic action, it is used in the treatment of uterine myoma, endometriosis, breast cancer. Manifest beneficial action during the climacteric period.

Pharmacokinetic properties

Testosterone Cypionate is absorbed slowly. The maximum plasma concentration is achieved over 72 hours after intramuscular administration. Duration of action 2 – 4 weeks. In the blood, about 98% of testosterone is coupled with a specific fraction of globulin, which binds testosterone and estradiol. Biotransformation occurs in the liver up to various 17-ketosteroids, which after conjugation with glucuronic or sulfuric acid are eliminated with urine (about 90%). Approximately 6% of the absorbed preparation is removed with the feces in free form.
