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.

There is no minimum age, each case is considered individually. Unfortunately, nowadays we tend to see extremely low levels among young men, which clearly require testosterone replacement therapy. If you have the typical symptoms, it is better to get tested.

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.

The costs for a stable setting are CHF 200 for the initial consultation and CHF 500 for the setup. Thereafter, 2-3 follow-up checks are carried out at intervals of 3 months (CHF 100 per check). As soon as stable values are achieved, follow-up checks are only carried out every 6 months, which means that the annual medical costs amount to CHF 200. The medical costs are not covered by basic insurance or supplementary insurance.

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.

Yes, the most important are: 1. prostate cancer 2. a known elevation of red blood cells (the latter can be remedied by blood donation/bloodletting)

With conventional dosing, side effects are rare. It is important to emphasize that we are treating a deficiency or low testosterone level here, in contrast to anabolic abuse, where ten times the TRT dose is often administered together with various other preparations.
