Introduction to Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) at UPNT

UPNT offers personalized Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) to help men experiencing low testosterone regain energy, strength, libido, and mental clarity. Our customized treatment options include:

  • Oral testosterone (Kyzatrex)
  • Self-administered weekly injections
  • Long-lasting testosterone pellets
To ensure easy access to your medication, Kyzatrex is available at our pharmacy in Arlington, offering the convenience of purchasing a three-month supply at a time. Please note that Kyzatrex cannot be mailed and must be picked up in person at our pharmacy.
Due to insurance complexities, all TRT services at UPNT are offered on a cash pay basis with mandatory blood work every 3–6 months to monitor your dosage and ensure safety.

Understanding Testosterone Deficiency

Testosterone is vital for maintaining energy, muscle mass, libido, and cognitive function in men. When testosterone levels drop, it can cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms that affect your daily life.

Common Symptoms of Low Testosterone:

  • Fatigue and reduced stamina
  • Decreased muscle mass and increased body fat
  • Low libido and erectile dysfunction
  • Irritability, depression, or mood swings
  • Difficulty focusing or “brain fog”

Causes and Risk Factors

While aging is the most common cause of declining testosterone levels, factors such as chronic illness, sleep disorders, obesity, and certain medications can contribute to low testosterone. Our team will evaluate your symptoms and health history to create a tailored treatment plan.

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

TRT offers a wide range of benefits, allowing men to reclaim their vitality and well-being. Many patients experience:
  • Higher energy levels and reduced fatigue
  • Improved strength and muscle mass
  • Better mental clarity and focus
  • Increased libido and improved sexual performance
  • Stronger bones and cardiovascular health

Oral Testosterone Medication: How Kyzatrex Works

Kyzatrex is an FDA-approved oral testosterone medication that offers a convenient, needle-free alternative to injections. This lipid-based capsule is absorbed through the intestinal tract, bypassing the liver and providing safe, consistent testosterone levels.

Absorption and Mechanism of Action

Kyzatrex works best when taken with food, which enhances its absorption and improves testosterone availability in the bloodstream. Unlike older oral testosterone therapies, Kyzatrex minimizes the risk of liver damage while delivering predictable results.

Dosage and Administration

Kyzatrex is taken 1–2 times per day, depending on your prescribed dosage. Our providers will determine the right dosing schedule to keep your testosterone levels optimized.

Benefits of Kyzatrex:

  • No needles or messy gels
  • Convenient once- or twice-daily dosing
  • Predictable and stable testosterone levels
  • Significantly fewer side effects compared to other versions of TRT

Convenient Access at Our Arlington Pharmacy

For added convenience, Kyzatrex is available directly at our UPNT pharmacy in Arlington. While it cannot be mailed, patients can purchase a three-month supply at a time to reduce trips and ensure they have adequate medication on hand. This in-house service allows us to provide personalized support and easy access to your prescription.

Self-Administered Weekly Testosterone Injections

Weekly testosterone injections are an effective way to maintain consistent testosterone levels. At UPNT, we train patients to self-administer injections at home, making it easy to manage your treatment on your own schedule.

How Weekly Injections Work

  • Administered once per week (intramuscularly or subcutaneously).
  • Provides a rapid increase in testosterone levels, followed by steady hormone balance.
  • Offers long-lasting symptom relief with a single weekly dose.

What to Expect:

  • Training and Support: Our team will teach you how to safely and confidently administer your injections at home.
  • Flexible Dosing: Your provider will start with a conservative dose and adjust it as needed based on your lab results and symptoms.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Blood work every 3–6 months ensures your dosage remains appropriate and safe.

Long-Lasting Testosterone Pellets

For men who prefer fewer treatments, testosterone pellet therapy is a low-maintenance option. Pellets are implanted under the skin during a quick, in-office procedure and dissolve gradually over several months.

How Pellet Therapy Works:

Each pellet releases testosterone slowly and steadily, providing up to four months of consistent hormone levels. This eliminates the need for daily pills or weekly injections.

Benefits of Pellet Therapy:

  • Long-lasting results (up to 4 months)
  • Steady testosterone levels with fewer highs and lows
  • Convenient and discreet

Mandatory Monitoring: Blood Work Every 3–6 Months

Safety is a top priority at UPNT. Regular monitoring is mandatory, and patients must undergo blood work every 3–6 months to:
  • Ensure testosterone levels are within the optimal range
  • Adjust dosage as needed
  • Monitor key markers such as red blood cell count, liver function, and cardiovascular health
  • Minimize potential side effects
This proactive approach ensures your therapy remains safe and effective long-term.

Comparing Oral, Injection, and Pellet Therapies

Each treatment option has unique benefits. The right choice depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and treatment goals.
