Oral testosterone. Who's on it?

What state is that ?
Alabama, however I guess I was wrong on this. One of the Kyzatrex telemedicine providers just called me back does prescribe it to Alabama.

However its not the $150 per month I thought.

You have to have a $150 per month membership with them and then the kyzatrex is like $220 per month.

I could swing the $150 per month but def not more than that.

I most likely could get insurance to pay for it but dam I hate dealing with them.

That's way too much! That's more than most insurance premiums. You would think cutting out the middleman would decrease costs.

Doctors hate dealing with insurance companies as well. It increases administrative costs and prevents doctors from dishing out necessary treatments.

Kyzatrex is a cash pay model only!

Interesting, and I visited that link and it shows only $160.

Do you visit a telemedicine clinic that sends the prescriptions to dirxhealth? If so can you provide a recommendation for one?
 
Well darn, after calling around there is only two telehealth providers that can provide to my state.

Lifeforce with the insane cost per month vitamin shoppe (I think, I cant get in touch with phone support).

Defy medical doesnt offer it.

You cant contact a real person at Kyzatrex, when you ask to speak to someone it transfers you then just disconnects.

Maybe I’ll need to revisit this later, sounds like their company is still in the growth stages of getting everything together logistically.

I live in Canada and the only oral TU option which had been available on the market for decades was the older oral TU formulation Andriol which was discontinued back in 2018.


There are 2 generic versions that replaced it but most doctors are not prescribing them due to the formulation relying heavily on a high fat intake in order to improve absorption/bioavailability and in many cases it still led to intra-and inter-patient variability in testosterone response.

Some men are started on big pharma transdermal T gel but in most cases injectable esterified TC/TE from the get-go!

Last year Verity Pharmaceuticals submitted oral Tlando Approval to Health Canada and not too long after Marius Pharmaceuticals did the same for Kyzatrex.

Chances are sometime this year Kyzatrex and Tlando will be available to Canadians.

Even than although there are many advantages when it comes to the PK profile, side-effects let alone delivery route I have no interest in pursuing such.

Started on injectable esterified T from the get-go back in 2016!

Not sure who is treating you but try contacting numerous urologists in your area who specialize in testosterone therapy and ask them if they prescribe Kyzatrex.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
