Federal regulations name testosterone among the anabolic steroids in Schedule III, “including its salts, esters and ethers” (21 CFR 1308.13(f)). DEA’s Controlled Substance Schedules page lists “anabolic steroids such as Depo®-Testosterone” among its examples of Schedule IIIN (non-narcotic Schedule III) substances.

How to track it in Peptimes

The Library has a separate entry for each form of testosterone, so pick the one that matches your product, add it in My Protocols, and set the schedule you already follow: days of the week, times of day and a start date. Peptimes never suggests an amount when you log or schedule a dose. Each entry shows its own status label. The list above gives the detail by product.

  • Entries and routes: “Testosterone (transdermal gel/cream)” is topical; “Testosterone (nasal)” is nasal; “Testosterone pellets” is logged as Other; “Testosterone Undecanoate (oral)” is oral; “Testosterone Undecanoate (injectable)” is intramuscular; “Testosterone Enanthate” is intramuscular or subcutaneous. These six show “FDA Approved”.
  • Other labels: “Testosterone Propionate” shows “Compoundable” and can be logged as intramuscular or topical. That label isn’t an FDA approval: no testosterone propionate product is marketed in the US. “Sustanon 250” shows “Approved outside the US” and is intramuscular; it isn’t FDA-approved.
  • Testosterone cypionate has its own entry and its own page.
  • Logging: the amount you took, the route and how you feel.
  • Injection sites: intramuscular and subcutaneous doses record the site, and Insights shows where you’ve injected and how recently. It never suggests where to inject next. Topical, nasal, oral and Other doses skip this step.
  • Reminders and history: reminders at your times, the Calendar and CSV or JSON export work as described on the TRT tracker app page.

Peptimes is a tracking app, not medical advice. Talk to a licensed clinician about your treatment. Peptimes doesn’t sell testosterone or any other compound.
