The cost of testosterone injections can vary quite a bit depending on the specific type of injection, the dose, the provider or clinic administering it, and your location. Some of the main factors that influence the cost include:
- Type of testosterone: There are different esters or formulations of injectable testosterone, including testosterone cypionate, testosterone enanthate, and testosterone propionate. Testosterone cypionate tends to be the most affordable option.
- Dose: The dose per injection can range from 100mg to 200mg or more. Higher doses will cost more.
- Provider/clinic fees: Getting injections at a private anti-aging or hormone clinic will be more expensive than going through your general physician or a public health clinic.
- Geography: Prices tend to be higher in major metropolitan areas compared to rural areas and smaller towns.
On average, you can expect to pay:
- $10-30 per month for a standard testosterone dose (100-200 mg 1-2 times per month) from a general physician
- $15-50 per injection at a public health clinic
- $30-150 per month at an anti-aging or men's health clinic
So injected
testosterone can range from less than $100 per year up to over $2,000 per year depending on your dosage and type of provider.
Factors that affect the cost:
- The specific esters used - cypionate, enanthate, propionate etc.
- The dose per injection
- The frequency of injections
- Type of provider - general physician, urologist, anti-aging clinic etc.
- Your geographical location
- Whether you have health insurance coverage
Some ways to reduce costs include:
- Use testosterone cypionate rather than the more expensive propionate ester
- Start with a lower dose and titrate up - 100mg per week or 200mg every 2 weeks
- Shop around between local providers, compare their testosterone pricing
- Use a GoodRx coupon if your insurance doesn't cover it
- Order from an international pharmacy if allowed domestically
