Testosterone Pellets vs Cream
Testosterone pellets are subcutaneously implanted depots that release testosterone over months. Compounded cream is a daily topical with provider-tuned concentration. The two routes differ in titration agility, biomarker stability, and reversibility.
Pellets are appropriate for candidates valuing infrequent dosing and willing to accept low titration agility; they are not in the oMeds formulary.
Compounded cream is appropriate when daily adherence and titration agility are clinically preferred.
Educational. Final pathway selection is provider-reviewed via synchronous video consultation against your biomarkers, history, and goals.
Frequently asked
Why doesn't oMeds offer pellets?
oMeds prioritizes titration agility and biomarker-driven recalibration, which favors injectable and topical routes.
Can pellets be discontinued mid-cycle?
Discontinuation requires explant; this lack of agility is the principal trade-off.
