Cernos Depot Injection (Testosterone Undecanoate Injection 1000mg/4ml)

Cernos Depot Injection is a long-acting testosterone formulation used to treat male hypogonadism, a condition caused by low testosterone levels in men. It helps restore the normal physiological levels of testosterone, improving sexual function, energy levels, mood, and overall well-being.

Unlike short-acting formulations, Cernos Depot provides a sustained release of testosterone, maintaining stable hormone levels for several weeks with fewer injections.

Uses of Cernos Depot Injection

• Treatment of primary and secondary male hypogonadism

• Restores sexual function and libido

• Supports muscle mass, strength, and bone density

• Improves mood, energy, and vitality

• Promotes overall hormonal balance in testosterone-deficient men

How Cernos Depot Injection Works

Testosterone Undecanoate acts as a hormone replacement that compensates for the natural testosterone deficiency in the male body. Once injected intramuscularly, it slowly releases testosterone into the bloodstream over a prolonged period, typically lasting up to 10–14 weeks.
This helps maintain consistent testosterone levels without frequent injections.
