Dr. Hotze's Wellness Revolution - Testosterone Dosage Forms for Men​ with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh

Testosterone replacement therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains how testosterone therapy can be customized for men based on their symptoms, lifestyle, health history, and individual response to treatment. She also discusses signs that may be associated with low testosterone. Bryana compares three testosterone dosage forms: compounded sublingual tablets, compounded slow-release oral capsules, and commercially available injectable testosterone. She explains the advantages and considerations of each, including differences in absorption, dosing frequency, convenience, gastrointestinal health, and administration. From the rapid absorption of a sublingual tablet to the familiar routine of an oral capsule or the less frequent dosing of an injection, the goal is to find an option that fits each individual’s needs and lifestyle. Bryana also discusses the importance of proper dosing and ongoing monitoring during testosterone therapy. Symptoms, blood work, hormone conversion, and overall response should all be considered when determining whether treatment is appropriately balanced. Learn why personalized testosterone therapy and collaboration between the patient, physician, and pharmacist can help men find an approach that works best for them.
