Testosterone pellets are small, usually 3mm by 9mm long (about the size of a grain of rice) and contain crystalline testosterone. They are implanted under the skin (usually near the hip)
Prescription Required menMD does not compound or dispense prescription products. Prescriptions are filled through our US-licensed pharmacy partners.
Testosterone pellets are implanted under the skin using an instrument called a trocar, usually near your hip, in a short and simple procedure done by a trained healthcare provider. A local anesthetic is given to reduce any discomfort.
Pellets are a long-acting form of testosterone replacement therapy. They typically deliver a steady dose of testosterone over 4 to 6 months depending on the strength and number of pellets implanted.
Who is it for?
Testosterone replacement therapy is for men with symptoms of low testosterone and blood levels that confirm this as the cause of symptoms. Pellets may be a good option for those seeking a consistent, long-term dose.
Effectiveness
Over several weeks, after implantation, your body will adjust to the new level of testosterone and you should begin to feel the positive effects. Your doctor will help set treatment goals and measure your response by conducting periodic blood tests to measure the level of testosterone in your body.
Testosterone Pellets Side Effects
Temporary bruising or soreness at the injection site
In rare cases, the pellet can extrude from the skin and need to be replaced
Good to know
According to one study, while only 17 percent of people who had TRT chose pellets, 70% of those who did were satisfied which is comparable to gels and injections.

I’ve had an excellent experience working with menMD, and I want to give a special shout-out to Tonya Schorn, my Account Manager. Tonya has been incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping whenever an issue arises. She always goes the extra mile to make things right, even when challenges are outside of her control. It’s rare to find support staff who are this dedicated and consistently kind. Thank you, Tonya, for your outstanding service—your hard work does not go unnoticed!

We have been working with Tonya Schorn at MenMD for a few years now! She has been the best rep we have worked with to date. She is very responsive. Like instant response! Which in a clinic is very important as patients need their questions answered promptly. She has helped us navigate ordering, tracking, replacing meds etc very efficiently. She has worked with us diligently to give us fair pricing. Honestly if MenMD could make ALL the meds, we would never look at any other pharmacies ever again for sourcing. I highly recommend Tonya Schorn from MenMD to work with!!!!
