What is the proper testosterone dosage?

The proper dosage of testosterone in testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can vary depending on individual physiology and goals. Errors in dosing often involve underdosing, where even if some testosterone is supplied, the body may reduce its natural production, leading to levels dropping to where they were or even lower. It's important to understand how your body metabolizes the hormone. For instance, a common practice might start with adjusting the dosage based on response, such as starting with 150 mg per week and adjusting based on testosterone levels measured before the next dose, aiming for a specific range such as 900 nanograms per deciliter 1 2.

Always consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best dosage and administration method tailored to your specific circumstances and health status.
