A Multi‐Institutional Observational Study of Testosterone Levels after Testosterone Pellet (Testopel®) Insertion

Testosterone pellets (Testopel®, Slate Pharmaceuticals) provide sustained levels of testosterone for at least 4 months and up to 6 months in men with TDS. Implantation of ≥8 pellets achieved optimal results with respect to peak mean testosterone level and duration of effect. Testosterone pellets were generally well tolerated.
