Low testosterone affects approximately 25% of men - yet only 5-10% of affected men seek a solution. Kyzatrex, an oral testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), is a novel treatment for men with low testosterone levels. Traditionally, TRT options include gels and injections, but oral pills have not been available until now.

4 things you should know about Kyzatrex

It’s proven to be 96% effective

Kyzatrex has shown remarkable efficacy in clinical studies, with up to 96% of men achieving normalised testosterone levels within 90 days. Moreover, it can double mean-free testosterone levels and decrease mean sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) by 30% in the same period. These impressive results highlight Kyzatrex as a powerful solution for low testosterone.

It’s taken orally

Unlike injectable or topical therapies, Kyzatrex is taken orally twice daily with food, providing a hassle-free and convenient alternative. This method avoids the discomfort of needles and the mess associated with gels, ensuring a seamless fit into your daily routine.

Dosage is flexible and adaptable

Kyzatrex allows for flexible dosing, ranging from 100 mg to 800 mg daily, tailored to maintain stable and consistent testosterone levels based on individual needs. This adaptability ensures that patients receive optimal treatment with minimal adjustments.

It may come at a higher cost

One consideration for patients is that Kyzatrex can be more expensive compared to other testosterone replacement therapies. This expense should be weighed against its convenience and efficacy.

Understanding potential side effects

While Kyzatrex has been well-tolerated in studies with a low incidence of adverse effects such as testicular shrinkage, it can increase blood pressure, which may raise the risk of heart attack or stroke. This can be managed through blood tests, regular blood pressure monitoring, and a healthy lifestyle.

Common side effects include increased red blood cell counts, enlarged prostate, frequent or prolonged erections, nausea, heartburn, headache, and swelling in the lower legs. Serious side effects may involve cardiovascular issues, polycythemia, and potential liver or kidney problems.

The numan take

Kyzatrex represents a significant advancement in testosterone replacement therapy, offering a convenient alternative to traditional methods. As with any treatment, the benefits must be weighed against potential side effects, and you should consult with a clinician before starting it.
