Older approvals can be missing dates, and tentative approvals are not counted. An approved application does not mean the product is currently marketed.
Patents and generics
Patents and generic approvals for testosterone enanthate
The FDA Orange Book lists 7 approved generic applications for testosterone enanthate, the first approved on 2006-06-14. 16 listed patents on specific brand products have not yet expired, the last on 2036-09-04; generics of other versions are already approved.

All single-ingredient testosterone enanthate products in the Orange Book, every brand and strength, files dated 2026-10-09
An approved generic or an expired patent does not show that a generic is on sale. Launch timing also depends on litigation, settlements and supply. Biologics and compounded products are not in the Orange Book.

Medicare Part D claims for testosterone enanthate by age group
Of 47,079 Medicare Part D claims for testosterone enanthate in 2024, 33,461 (71.1%) were for enrollees aged 65 and over and 13,618 were for enrollees under 65.

How this was calculated
Summed the national rows for every brand and generic row with this generic name. Claims under 65 are total claims minus claims for enrollees 65 and over.
National Part D claims for single-ingredient testosterone enanthate products, 2024, split at age 65
Medicare mostly covers people 65 and over, so this split describes Medicare enrollees and not use in the general population.

Gross drug cost before manufacturer rebates, so net cost is lower. Part D excludes some uses by law (for example erectile dysfunction, weight loss and hair growth), so claims reflect covered uses only. Compounded products are not included.

Counts under 11 are suppressed by CMS and left out, so totals are a floor. Amounts are before rebates. Differences between states reflect programme size and coverage rules. Compounded products are not included.
Pharmacy cost
Pharmacy acquisition cost (NADAC) for testosterone enanthate
Retail pharmacies paid an average of $14.48 per mL for TESTOSTERON ENAN 1,000 MG/5 ML as of 2026-11-11, compared with $13.95 twelve months earlier (+3.8%). This is a pharmacy purchase cost, not a patient price.

| TESTOSTERON ENAN 1,000 MG/5 ML, 12 months earlier | $13.95 per mL |
| Change over 12 months | +3.8% |
How this was calculated
Matched NADAC product codes to the FDA NDC Directory, kept finished single-ingredient products, and listed the product descriptions with the most package codes. The earlier price is the same package code in the file one year before.

NADAC is the average invoice price retail pharmacies pay, from a voluntary survey. It leaves out rebates, dispensing fees and markups, and it is not what a patient or insurer pays. Compounded products are not surveyed.
Adverse event reports
Most reported events in FDA adverse event reports for testosterone enanthate
Through 2026-10-28, FDA had received 2,389 adverse event reports for testosterone enanthate, 1,211 of them marked serious by the reporter. The symptom terms named most often were cerebrovascular accident (231), deep vein thrombosis (229) and pulmonary embolism (207).
| Measure | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| All reports received | 2,389 | |
| Reports the reporter marked serious | 1,211 | death, hospitalisation, disability or similar outcome |
| Cerebrovascular accident | 231 reports | |
| Deep vein thrombosis | 229 reports | |
| Pulmonary embolism | 207 reports | |
| Pain | 192 reports | |
| Myocardial infarction | 190 reports |
How this was calculated
Counted FAERS reports listing this active substance, then the reaction terms named most often. A report can name several reactions, and a term can describe the illness being treated and not an effect of the drug. Terms about product use or complaints rather than symptoms (for example product dose omission issue) were left out of the list.
Reports where FDA recorded testosterone enanthate as a single-ingredient active substance (any brand), all years to 2026-10-28
FAERS reports are unverified and do not prove the drug caused the event. Reporting rises with use, publicity and lawsuits, so these counts cannot give rates or risks and cannot be compared between drugs.
Recalls
FDA drug recalls naming testosterone enanthate
FDA enforcement reports list 8 drug recall entries naming testosterone enanthate from 2013 to 2022-07-20. 8 of them are for compounded or other unlisted products and 0 for products FDA lists under a label. The most common stated reason was lack of sterility assurance (7 of 8).
| Measure | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Recall entries on record | 8 | |
| For products FDA lists under an approved or registered label | 0 | |
| For compounded or other unlisted products | 8 | matched by the name in the product description |
| Class I (most serious) | 0 | |
| Class II | 8 | |
| Class III | 0 | |
| Most recent recall reported | 2022-07-20 | |
| Most common stated reason | lack of sterility assurance | 7 of 8 entries |
How this was calculated
Counted enforcement report entries matched by FDA's listed active substance, or by the name in the product description where FDA lists none. Reasons were grouped by keywords in FDA's stated reason.
Recalls of single-ingredient testosterone enanthate products, plus compounded or unlisted products whose description names it
Each recall covers specific lots from one firm and is not a statement about every product with this ingredient. One event can appear as several entries, one per product.

Studies whose intervention field matches testosterone enanthate, any condition, any country, all statuses
A registered study is not a result. Counts include studies where the drug is a comparator or background treatment, and studies that never finished or reported.
