TRT Protocol
100% Online — No Office Visit Required
A TRT protocol includes the evaluation, medication selection, dosing schedule, and monitoring plan your provider creates based on your individual needs.
Overview
TRT is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. The specific protocol — including medication type, dose, frequency, and supportive agents — is individualized based on your labs, symptoms, goals, and clinical response.
General Framework
- Baseline Labs: Total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, estradiol, CBC, metabolic panel, and PSA.
- Provider Evaluation: Review of labs, symptoms, health history, and goals to determine candidacy and appropriate protocol.
- Medication Selection: Typically testosterone cypionate or enanthate via injection. Topical options may also be considered.
- Starting Dose: Conservative starting doses are typically used, with adjustments based on response and follow-up labs.
- Supportive Agents: HCG, gonadorelin, or anastrozole may be added depending on your goals and lab results.
- Follow-Up Labs: Labs are typically repeated at 6–8 weeks, then every 3–6 months once stable.
