Low testosterone.
Medically assessed.
Online across Switzerland.

There is no single cut-off value. Every patient is assessed individually together with their history. The testosterone value does not have to be clearly below the reference range — a value in the low-normal range can be enough.

There is no minimum age; every case is assessed individually. We also see very low values in young men that call for testosterone replacement therapy. If you have typical symptoms, get tested.

We prescribe testosterone only as an injection. Tablets are not approved in Switzerland, and gels cause fluctuations in hormone levels. Injections allow constant, precise and straightforward dosing.

In our experience, Testoviron has proven advantageous in many respects. We therefore recommend it as our first choice.

For an optimal result, testosterone should be injected at least twice a week. We recommend a schedule of every two days as standard.

The self-injection is given just under the skin, directly into the fatty tissue. The insulin needle is barely noticeable.

Of course. We provide a video tutorial for this.

At conventional doses, side effects are extremely rare. The distinction matters: we treat a deficiency — unlike anabolic steroid abuse, where ten times the therapeutic dose is often taken alongside other substances.

Yes. The most important are prostate cancer and a known elevation of red blood cells. The latter can be corrected by blood donation or venesection.

Testosterone replacement therapy can affect fertility. Under therapy, the body's own testosterone production is reduced, which can lower sperm production. In some cases this is temporary, in others permanent.

If you wish to have children, it is important to consult a fertility clinic before starting therapy — for individual advice and possible measures to preserve fertility, such as sperm freezing.

We do not offer hCG therapy as standard. On explicit request, hCG can be considered in selected cases, for example with marked testicular atrophy under TRT.

Therapy can be stopped at any time. There are a few things to consider, which we will discuss together.

Testoviron costs roughly CHF 30–50 per month depending on the dose. Single-use materials such as syringes, needles and skin disinfectant are additional. Health insurers do not cover these costs.

Our fees for reaching a stable setting are made up as follows:

• Initial consultation: CHF 200
• Setup package: CHF 500
• Follow-up checks in the first year: three checks at CHF 100 each

Medical fees in the first year: CHF 1000. From the second year onwards checks take place every three months — that comes to CHF 400 a year. Where values are particularly stable, half-yearly checks are sufficient. Questions outside a consultation are billed at CHF 40.

Diese Beträge gehen an uns. Dazu kommen Laborkosten und das Medikament, die Sie direkt an das Labor beziehungsweise die Apotheke zahlen. Im ersten Jahr ergibt das insgesamt rund CHF 2200, ab dem zweiten Jahr rund CHF 1300. Der Kostenrechner weiter oben schlüsselt alles auf. Die Arztkosten werden weder von der Grund- noch von der Zusatzversicherung übernommen.

You pay for the consultations and the testosterone yourself; these are not insured services. Blood draws can be carried out at your family doctor's practice, where health insurance usually covers the cost. Walk-in laboratories are not covered without a medical referral. Alternatively, we carry out blood draws at our own practices.

A standard consultation lasts 15 minutes.

Primarily at your family doctor's practice, where basic insurance usually covers the cost. Alternatively at a walk-in laboratory near you — though without a medical referral these costs are not covered. We do not issue referrals to third-party providers for blood draws.

Blood draws can also be carried out at our general practices. We have two locations, in Lenzburg and Olten. Health insurers usually cover these costs, depending on your insurance model.

No, consultations take place exclusively by telemedicine via Zoom.

Prescriptions are sent directly to your pharmacy by encrypted e-mail. Testoviron is available on prescription only.

We generally require the following analyses, no more than three months old:

Complete blood count, CRP, ferritin, TSH, total and calculated free testosterone, SHBG, albumin, FSH, LH, oestradiol, prolactin, liver values (AST, ALT, GGT, ALP) and creatinine.

Yes. To date there has not been a single incident where patients had difficulties. On request we issue a medical certificate in English.

Yes, that is entirely possible — including a change of preparation. Please book an initial consultation.

Although consultations are a pure self-pay service, we can only treat patients with valid Swiss health insurance.
