There is no clear cut-off value at which TRT is recommended; each patient and their medical history are assessed individually and the indication evaluated. In principle, the testosterone level does not have to be significantly lowered in the laboratory; a low-normal value is sufficient.

The prescribed testosterone preparation (Testoviron) costs around CHF 30-50, depending on the dosage. Disposable materials (syringes, needles, skin disinfectant, etc.) are also included. Health insurance companies do not cover these costs, they are self-pay services.

You must pay the consultation costs and the testosterone injections yourself; these are not covered by health insurance. The blood samples can be taken by your family doctor, the costs are usually covered by your health insurance. The walk-in laboratories are not covered by health insurance. Alternatively, you can also have the blood samples taken in our practices, please see FAQ point 4.
