Why does my prescription bottle state "Testosterone Cypionate Powder"? I thought it was going to be Testosterone Undecanoate based on the website.

I understand your concern about the testosterone medication you've received. Let me assure you that you are indeed taking the correct medication as prescribed - oral native testosterone tablets.

The prescription bottle correctly states that you are taking testosterone. This is the native, unesterified form of testosterone, which means it has no ester (like cypionate or undecanoate) attached to it. It's a bioidentical form of testosterone that your body can use immediately.

You may have noticed "testosterone cypionate" mentioned on a label or in our system. This is due to a technical limitation in our electronic medical record (EMR) system. For controlled substances, our EMR requires us to select from a predefined list, and unfortunately, native testosterone isn't on that list. To work around this, we had to choose a similar option - in this case, testosterone cypionate powder - as a placeholder for our internal systems and to communicate with the pharmacy.

However, this internal labeling does not affect the actual medication you receive. The pharmacy understands our system and provides the correct medication - oral native testosterone tablets - as prescribed by your doctor.

The native testosterone you're taking is the same type used in the study you may have read about. It's unesterified, meaning it's in its pure, bioidentical form without any attached esters.

I hope this clarifies any confusion. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us by utilizing the chat widget on the website. Your health and peace of mind are our top priorities.
