Cernos Depot Injection (Testosterone Undecanoate Injection)

Cernos Depot Injection is a long-acting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) used in the treatment of male hypogonadism, a medical condition where the body produces insufficient testosterone. Manufactured by Sun Pharma, this injection restores natural testosterone levels in adult men, improving sexual function, fertility, energy, muscle mass, and mood.

Cernos Depot contains Testosterone Undecanoate, an esterified form of testosterone that provides a sustained release of the hormone into the bloodstream, ensuring stable hormone levels for several weeks.

This medicine is widely searched online by users looking for “testosterone injection for men,” “long-acting testosterone shot,” or “TRT for low testosterone.”

Uses of Cernos Depot Injection

• Treatment of male hypogonadism due to low testosterone

• Helps restore normal testosterone levels in the body

How It Works

Cernos Depot contains Testosterone Undecanoate, which, after intramuscular injection, slowly releases testosterone into the blood. This long-acting androgen binds to androgen receptors in various tissues, including muscles, bones, and reproductive organs, to support protein synthesis, red blood cell production, and the development of secondary male characteristics.

It helps maintain consistent testosterone levels, unlike short-acting formulations, reducing the need for frequent injections.
