As a type of testosterone hormone replacement therapy, Testopel^® (testosterone pellets) can help treat low testosterone levels in men. This prescription medication can help restore testosterone levels back to normal.

Testopel can also be used in adolescent boys who have not yet started puberty. There are also some "off-label," or unapproved, uses for Testopel, such as testosterone therapy in women with low testosterone levels and women with certain types of breast cancer.

(Click Testopel Uses for more detailed information on approved and unapproved uses for this testosterone replacement therapy. The drug's use in children and older adults is also discussed.)
