What Is Depo-Testosterone

Depo-Testosterone is the registered brand name of testosterone cypionate used for testosterone replacement therapy. Depo-Testosterone is manufactured by Pfizer. It is the most commonly prescribed brand of testosterone. It is sometimes referred to simply as “Depo,” or a “Depo shot.”

Depo-Testosterone injections are prescribed for men who do not make enough testosterone on their own. In men and boys, testosterone is responsible for the normal growth and development of the genitals, muscles, and bones. Throughout life, testosterone supports many bodily functions including muscle growth, sex drive, and bone health. Depo-Testosterone belongs to a class of drugs known as androgens. In men suffering from low testosterone, testosterone cypionate, or Depo, works by bringing testosterone level back into the normal ranges.

Depo-Testosterone is the most commonly prescribed form of testosterone replacement therapy.
