Key takeaways

Testosterone oral tablet (Striant) and testosterone enanthate (Delatestryl) are both testosterone replacement therapies, but they differ in their forms and availability. Testosterone oral tablet, which is no longer available in the United States, was an oral buccal tablet that dissolved in the mouth. In contrast, testosterone enanthate is an injectable form given as a injection every 2 to 4 weeks. Testosterone enanthate is still available by prescription and can be used to treat low testosterone in males, delayed puberty in males, and metastatic breast cancer in females who’ve started menopause. Testosterone oral tablet was only used for treating low testosterone in adult males.
