Overview
Testosterone Enanthate is an androgen and anabolic steroid, a synthetic derivative of testosterone. It is an ester of testosterone, meaning a carboxylic acid has been attached to the testosterone molecule. This esterification makes the testosterone molecule fat-soluble and allows for a slow, sustained release into the bloodstream after intramuscular injection (as noted by DrugBank). It is primarily used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for classic hypogonadism in men, a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone. Other approved uses include treating delayed puberty in boys and certain types of breast cancer in women (information from the FDA label). Because it is a controlled substance, access and use are strictly regulated.
