Regular lab work and follow-up visits are essential to safe and effective TRT. PrescribedRX builds this monitoring into your program automatically.
Monitoring Timeline #
| Timepoint | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Month 3 | Follow-up visit + labs: Total Testosterone, Hematocrit, PSA |
| Month 6 | Repeat labs to confirm stable hormone levels |
| Ongoing (stable) | Labs annually once levels are stable |
| Ongoing (abnormal) | Labs every 3 months until levels normalize |
| Dose adjustments | Made based on lab results and your symptom response |
⚠️ Do not start, adjust, or stop any medication before your results have been reviewed with your clinician.
Why Monitoring Matters #
- Elevated hematocrit (thick blood) is one of the most common risks with TRT — regular CBC checks keep this in range
- PSA monitoring helps detect early prostate changes
- Testosterone levels help your clinician optimize your dose for maximum benefit with minimal side effects
