Comparison of Hematocrit Change in Testosterone-deficient Men Treated With Intranasal Testosterone Gel vs Intramuscular Testosterone Cypionate: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in vascular parameters and the prevalence of side effects in subjects receiving 1 cc (200mg) every 2 weeks intramuscular (IM) of Testosterone Cypionate versus subjects receiving 11mg three times daily (TID) Natesto to participant with clinical hypogonadism.
