Key takeaways

Testosterone oral tablet (Striant) and testosterone cypionate (Depo-Testosterone) are both testosterone replacement therapies used to treat low testosterone in adult males, but they differ significantly in their forms and availability. Striant was an oral buccal tablet that has been discontinued and is no longer available in the United States. In contrast, testosterone cypionate is an injectable form that is still available and typically administered once every 2 to 4 weeks. Striant was placed in the mouth to dissolve, while testosterone cypionate is injected into the buttock muscle.
