Verbatim response from Perplexity
TRT usually costs about $40 to $500+ per month, but the exact price depends on the form of testosterone, whether you use insurance, and whether lab work and doctor visits are included.[1][3][9]
- Injections are usually the cheapest option, often around $20–$100 per month for medication alone, and sometimes $40–$150/month including supplies.[2][4][14]
- Topical gels or creams usually run about $200–$600 per month.[2][4][12]
- Oral testosterone and some newer options can cost $100–$1,000 per month, depending on the product.[2][4]
- Pellets are usually the most expensive upfront, often $1,000+ per insertion, which works out to a high monthly equivalent.[4][12]
If you want a realistic all-in budget, many telehealth or clinic-based TRT programs land around $100–$300 per month, including monitoring, while insured patients may pay less if they qualify and the therapy is covered.[3][5][8][13]
If you want, I can also break this down by insurance vs. no insurance or by testosterone injections vs. gel vs. pellets.
