What is Xyosted?

Xyosted is a prescription medicine used to treat adult men with low or no testosterone levels, a condition known as hypogonadism. It contains testosterone enanthate, a long-acting form of testosterone, and is administered as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.

Why Use Xyosted?

• No need for in-clinic injections – self-administered at home
• Consistent testosterone levels with once-weekly dosing
• Pre-filled auto-injector minimizes dosing errors
• Reduces injection site pain due to small needle and subcutaneous route

How Does It Work?

Xyosted delivers testosterone enanthate through a single-use auto-injector directly into the fatty tissue of the abdomen. The drug is absorbed gradually, helping maintain stable testosterone levels over time.

Dosage and Administration

The typical starting dose is 75 mg once weekly. Your healthcare provider may adjust the dosage to 50 mg or 100 mg per week based on blood test results and symptoms. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.

Common Side Effects

• Increased red blood cell count (polycythemia)
• Acne or oily skin
• Injection site discomfort
• Mood changes or irritability
• Increased blood pressure

⚠️ Important: Testosterone therapy may increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, or prostate issues in some men. Always consult a doctor before starting therapy.

Who Should Not Use Xyosted?

Xyosted is not for men with prostate or breast cancer, or for women and children. It should not be used to treat low testosterone due to aging alone.

Storage Instructions

Store Xyosted at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Keep out of reach of children.

Conclusion

Xyosted offers a user-friendly option for testosterone replacement therapy, especially for those seeking a consistent and convenient way to manage low testosterone. However, it’s essential to weigh the benefits against potential risks under medical supervision.
