South Florida Men’s Health utilizes three medications (based on medical necessity) to optimize your testosterone levels, allow your body to maintain it’s own production of the hormone while on therapy, and help prevent unwanted effects. HCG is a naturally occurring hormone that tells your testes to maintain production of its own testosterone once you begin your injections. It also prevents the testicles from shrinking while on replacement therapy. Anastrozole is a medication taking orally that prevents the testosterone from converting into estrogen once injected. While estrogen is an important hormone even for men, excess levels can cause side effects. Taken in the correct combination and dose, these three medications will optimize your levels of testosterone in the safest way possible.
