Key takeaways
Androxy (fluoxymesterone) and Depo-Testosterone (testosterone cypionate) are both used to treat low testosterone levels in males, but they have some key differences. Androxy, an oral androgen, has been discontinued in the United States and is no longer available. In contrast, Depo-Testosterone is an injectable form of testosterone that is still available by prescription. Depo-Testerone is typically administered into the muscle every 2 to 4 weeks, which can be used at home with proper training. Depo-Testosterone has a broader range of serious side effects, including risks of heart attack, stroke, and liver damage, especially if misused. Androxy also had potential for abuse and dependence, but its discontinuation limits its current use.
