About pellet therapy
A sustained option for individualized hormone care
Hormone pellets are small formulations placed under the skin during an in-office visit. They release hormone over time and are one of several delivery methods that may be considered after an evaluation.
Pellet therapy is not selected from symptoms alone. Your history, laboratory results, health risks, goals, and other treatment options all inform the recommendation.
If pellet therapy is not the best fit, your provider will discuss other reasonable next steps with you. Treatment is individualized, and results and timelines vary.
Pellets are one delivery option
Men can compare pellet and injectable testosterone on Men's Health. Women review pellet care alongside HRT during a hormone consult.
Clinical first
The evaluation guides the treatment
- Your health history, medications, and current symptoms
- Baseline and follow-up laboratory results
- Potential benefits, risks, and alternatives
- Your goals, preferences, and response over time
Important to know
As with any medical treatment, hormone therapy can have side effects and risks. These are reviewed with you before a treatment decision is made.
