16 Comparison of Prevalence of Polycythemia between Nasal Testosterone Gel vs Intramuscular Testosterone Cypionate: Evaluation of Data from an Ongoing Phase IV, Open-Label, Randomized Clinical Trial
Abstract:Introduction
Men taking testosterone therapy (TT) have potential side effects such as polycythemia, testicular atrophy, and decreased spermatogenesis. Recent evidence has shown that the modality of delivery may affect the prevalence of these side effects. We hypothesized that intranasal short-acting testosterone will have a lower rate of polycythemia than injectable long-acting testosterone because shorter-acting formulations can more closely mimic normal physiology.
