On Klarity Health, you can find an online healthcare provider and get a testosterone prescription online in as little as 24 hours if medically appropriate.

What is testosterone?
Testosterone is a hormone produced by testicles and ovaries, as well as the adrenal glands. It is a male sex hormone and is closely associated with male characteristics.
However, testosterone is vital in people of all sexes. It plays an important role in:
- Bone and muscle strength
- Facial hair growth
- Sex drive
- Sperm production
- Ovarian function
- And other bodily functions
Your provider might prescribe a synthetic version of this hormone if you need it. This medication mimics the testosterone that bodies produce.
An online testosterone prescription may come in one of many forms, such as a(n):
- Patch
- Topical solution
- Gel
- Injection
- Pill
When a patient gets a testosterone prescription online, the provider will choose what type of medication based on the patient’s unique needs.
How does testosterone work?
An online testosterone prescription can make up the difference if your body does not produce enough of the hormone. Testosterone works by binding to androgen receptors, which are proteins found throughout the body. TRT aims to restore the body’s testosterone to optimal levels.
Typically, you’ll do a quick blood test to determine how much testosterone your body makes. Your provider may also recommend blood tests for liver function, luteinizing hormone, prostate function, and more. These tests help your provider decide if you’re healthy enough to get testosterone online.
If appropriate, your provider will prescribe the type of testosterone that’s right for you. This medication aims to increase testosterone levels in your body.
You may notice:
- Improved sexual function and performance
- Decreased body fat and/or increased muscle mass
- More energy throughout the day
- A greater sense of well-being
Depending on why you want to get a testosterone prescription online, you may notice other benefits as well.
Who can take testosterone?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved TRT in the 1950s for men with hypogonadism.
An online testosterone prescription may be right for you if you’re a cisgender man who has low testosterone levels. Several things can cause low testosterone, including:
• Genetic conditions
• Damage to the testicles
• Problems with the pituitary gland
• Malfunctions of the hypothalamus
• Undergoing chemotherapy or radiation
Some men have a decrease in testosterone as they age. They may take testosterone to restore their body to optimal levels.
Providers may also prescribe testosterone to transgender men. The goal is to increase the appearance of male characteristics.
Some women experience symptoms of low testosterone during menopause. In some cases, providers may prescribe testosterone to women in small doses. However, this kind of prescription is off-label and not approved by the FDA.
How to get a testosterone online prescription
You can get a testosterone prescription online if a licensed medical provider decides it could be safe and effective for you. Doctors (MDs and DOs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician assistants (PAs) may prescribe testosterone.
If you think TRT might be right for you, start by making an appointment with an online provider. You can find board-certified providers on Klarity Health.
Be sure to describe your symptoms during your appointment. Be honest and open with your provider; they are here to help you.
Your provider may require lab testing before writing a prescription. This can help them determine the proper dosage for you.
Once you have a prescription, you can send it to an online or in-person pharmacy.
Testosterone dosages and how to use it
Your testosterone dosage and usage will be based on:
- Your current hormone levels
- Your target testosterone levels
- The type of testosterone you need
- Your health history
Testosterone comes in many forms, including topical gels, patches, injections, and pills. Your provider can help you decide what type is right for you.
You may start with a relatively small dose. This helps ensure that you tolerate the medicine well. If needed, your provider can increase your dose until you find the right balance.
No matter what type of testosterone you take, it’s essential to follow all directions carefully. If you have any questions about your dosage or how to take your online testosterone prescription, ask your provider or pharmacist.
Testosterone side effects and warnings
As with all medications, testosterone can cause unwanted side effects. Some of the most common side effects of testosterone include:
- Acne
- Skin irritation
- Increased estradiol
- Gingivitis
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Hypertension
- Prostatitis
- Increased appetite
- Fluid retention
- Headache
- Fatigue
These side effects occur in between 1% and 10% of patients who take testosterone.
Serious side effects are rare, but they can happen. Uncommon side effects of testosterone occur in less than 1% of patients and include:
- Alopecia
- Nausea
- Cardiovascular disorder
- Prostatic disorder
- Increased triglyceride
- Pain in extremities
- Dizziness and Migraine
- Depression
Be sure to inform your provider about any side effects you experience. They may recommend changing the amount or type of medication you take. Sometimes, patients notice that the side effects decrease over time as they adjust to the testosterone.
What does testosterone cost?
Because TRT has been around for so long, generic options are available. Generic medications cost less than brand-name options.
Testosterone cypionate is the generic version of Depo-Testosterone. It is an injectable and a common online testosterone prescription. Without insurance, testosterone cypionate costs a little more than $30 per dose.
AndroGel is a common, brand-name testosterone. Without insurance, it costs about $600 per bottle, which lasts about 60 days.
Insurance coverage can decrease the cost of your online testosterone prescription. There may also be manufacturer’s coupons or copay programs that can help.
If you’re worried about cost, talk to your provider about it. They can help you find low-cost TRT options. You can also check your insurance coverage before your appointment.
How does testosterone compare to other medications?
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is the only FDA-approved treatment for male hypogonadism that does not contain testosterone. While an online testosterone prescription directly increases your body’s testosterone, hCG stimulates the body’s testosterone production.
Both are proven to be safe and effective ways to increase testosterone. Furthermore, board-certified providers can prescribe either of these treatments online. Some patients take both testosterone and hCG.
Ask your provider if a testosterone alternative may be right for you. They can help you create a treatment plan that works for your body and your wallet.
