1. What is Testosterone Injection Calculator?

The Testosterone Injection Calculator helps men determine their total testosterone dosage based on injection frequency. It's designed for those undergoing testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or similar treatments.

• \( \text{Frequency} \) — Injection schedule (weekly, biweekly, monthly)

Explanation: The calculation adjusts the total dose based on how frequently injections are administered.

3. Importance of Proper Dosing
