How long do pellets last?

Commonly three to six months, depending on dose and how your body metabolizes it.

Can I stop if I have side effects?

The pellets cannot be turned off easily, which is why a trial on injections is sometimes suggested first.

Testosterone pellet therapy in Florida

Pellets are small rice-sized implants placed under the skin of the hip or buttock after a local anesthetic. They release testosterone over roughly three to six months, so there are no weekly shots or daily gels.

Baseline labs come first.
Insertion takes a few minutes in the office.
Follow-up labs check levels before the next round.

The tradeoff: the dose is harder to change once pellets are placed, and there is a small risk of infection or extrusion. Ask how the clinic handles dose adjustments.

What it costs

Cost depends on the dose, the insertion fee, how often you re-dose, and the lab work between visits. Pellet programs are usually cash-pay.
