High-Yield Explanation
(A) 100 mg/week# First, oral agents really have no place in hormone therapy in men.> There is a first pass effect after absorption into the portal system that allows the liver to metabolize the drug, leading to a very small amount of hormone entering the circulation. Injectable agents are more often used for replacement therapy.> The testosterone esters in these compounds are put in depot injections that leach hormone out over a period of weeks.> The average dosage is 100 mg per week.
