I got a procedure done called Testopel (testosterone pellets). Testopel is a implantable testosterone pellet which normalizes testosterone levels for 3-4 months. The pellets are inserted under the skin in the hip-area.
I got the procedure done at a anti-aging clinic. They make a small incision and insert 6-8 pellets 3.2mm (1/8 inch). It only took about 5-10 minutes feels like a light bruise, need to wait 7-10 days for revisit to see where my test level are at and also to remove stitches. Here what the info says on the pamphlet they gave me.
Description
Testopel pellets are cylindrically shaped pellets 3.2mm (1/8 inch) in diameter and approximately 9mm in length. Each sterile pellet weighs approximately 78mg (75mg testosterone) and is ready for implantation.
Ingredients
Each pellet for subcutaneous implantation contains 75mg testosterone in addition each pellet contains the following inactive ingredient stearic acid NF 0.97mg and polvinylpyrolidone.
Testopel consists of crystalline testosterone. When implanted subcutaneously, the pellet slowly release the hormone for a long acting androgenic effect.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage guideline for the testosterone pellets for replacement therapy in androgen-deficient male is 150mg to 450mg subcutaneously every 3 to 6 months. Various dosage regimen have been used to induce puberatal changes in hypo gonadal males. Some experts have advocated lower doses initially. Gradually increasing the dose as puberty progress with or without a decrease in maintenance levels . Other experts emphasize the higher dosages are needed to induce pubertal changes and lower dosages can be used for maintenance after puberty.
the number of pellets to be implanted depends upon the minimal daily requirements of testosterone propionate determined by a gradual reductionof the amount administered parenterally. The usual dosage is as follows, implant two 75mg pellets for each 25mg testosterone propionate required weekly. Thus when a patient requires injections of 75mg per week,it is usually necessary to implant 450mg (6 pellets ). With injection of 50mg per week,implantation of 300mg (4 pellets) may suffice for approximately three months. With lower requirements by injection, correspondingly lower amount may be implanted. It has been found the approximately one-third of the material is absorbed in the first month,one-fourth in the second month and one0sixth in the third month. Adequate effect of the pellets ordinarily continues for three to four months,sometimes as long as six months.
