PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION

CypioGold® is a steroid hormone from the androgen group, which contains Testosterone Cypionate. Testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females although small amounts are secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid.

PHARMACOKINETIC PROPERTIES

Testosterone esters are less polar than free testosterone. Testosterone esters in oil injected intramuscularly are absorbed slowly from the lipid phase thus CypioGold® can be given at  intervals of two to four weeks. The half-life of Testosterone Cypionate when injected intramuscularly is approximately eight days.

INDICATIONS

CypioGold® is indicated for replacement therapy in male in conditions associated with  symptoms of deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone. Primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired)-testicular failure due to cryptorchidism,  bilateral torsion, orchitis, vanishing testis syndrome; or orchidectomy. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (congenital or acquired)-idiopathic gonadotropin or LHRH deficiency, or pituitary-hypothalamic injury from tumors, trauma, or radiation.
