Testocyp (Test Cypionate) by Alpha-Pharma is an injectable steroid, its
active substance is Testosterone Cypionate.
Testocyp is long acting formulation of
testosterone which is indicated in the treatment of individuals who have absent
or very low levels of the hormone. It is sometimes known as Depo testosterone.
The testosterone is esterified and thus is quite long acting. It is only
available in an injection form. Testocyp is typically dissolved in sesame or
cotton seed oil and injected into the buttock area. Testocyp is slowly released
from the injection site for about 7-12 days.
Testocyp is used to treat conditions in made where
there is a failure of testosterone to be secreted like: primary failure of the
testes to make the hormone, failure of the pituitary to release Gonadotropins.
Testocyp is taken principally to enhance the body and stimulate the psyche.
Most bodybuilders who take Testocyp claim that it causes spontaneous bursts in
energy associated with increased aggression. This feature of the Testocyp is
used primarily by weight lifters and professional wrestlers. Many athletes also
claim that Testosterone Cypionate improves their ability to perform exercise at
intense levels.
It is only made for intramuscular injection.
Testocyp can be injected into the buttock area once every 7-12 days. The
majority of the Testosterone Cypionate is bound to protein and only 2% is free.
Testocyp is supposed to be injected once a week, but there are some
bodybuilders who do inject it every other day. This is not recommended and can
lead to the formation of abscess, sores and skin infections. The injection site
needs to be rotated if the injections are to be continued for a long time. The
oily suspension should not be injected into the arms or the abdomen. The dose
of Testocyp ranges from 50mg-400mg/week, depending on the condition being
treated. Bodybuilders tend to inject the higher amount of the Testosterone
Cypionate 200mg-400mg/week. Testocyp is then slowly absorbed into the blood
stream over the next few days.
When Testocyp is injected at low doses, the side
effects are rare. However, long term use is known to be associated with a
varied number of side effects - all of which are reversible when the drug is
stopped. For the female who decides to take testosterone, there are virilizing
side effects which are not always reversible when the drug is stopped. Like all
anabolic steroids, testosterone also has a number of side effects which
includes: nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, swelling, increased
/decreased libido, headaches, acne, oily skin, mental change including anger,
depression, insomnia, diaphoresis, loss of hair, gynecomastia
When taken by females, the drug definitely can
cause virilizing effects like: deepening of voice, hoarseness, excess hair
growth, enlarged clitoris, irregular menstrual cycles
