Eligibility criteria

Eligibility criteria for a patient wanting to commence Low Testosterone treatment (TRT).

Written by Hormn

To start TRT with Hormn, you must meet clear medical guidelines.

Here’s what’s required:

1. Before You Begin

If you are currently using non-prescribed testosterone, you must stop taking it and wait for 30 days before completing any blood tests. This ensures that your test results accurately reflect your natural testosterone levels.

2. Testosterone Levels

We need one blood test that includes:

  • Total Testosterone

  • Free Testosterone

  • SHBG

You may be eligible if:

  • Free Testosterone is below 350 pmol/L, or

  • Total Testosterone is below 13 nmol/L

If your levels are higher, we may recommend seeing your GP and rechecking later.

3. Other Health Markers

Your blood test also checks:

  • PSA (prostate health): Must be normal or low

  • Prolactin: Must be under 400

  • Hematocrit (HCT): Must be 0.51 or lower

  • Liver & Kidney function: Must be stable

  • Glucose: Must be 6.0 or lower

  • FSH/LH: Any reading is fine — helps show cause of low T

If anything is out of range, you may be asked to visit your GP or repeat the test.

4. Health Questionnaire

You’ll need to fill out a short form about your medical history before your doctor consult.

5. Consent Form

Before starting treatment, you must sign a medical consent form.

6. Medical Review

A Hormn doctor will review:

  • Your symptoms and test results

  • Any risks or complications

  • Whether TRT is safe and appropriate for you

Not Eligible?

You cannot start TRT if you have:

  • Untreated sleep apnea

  • Prostate cancer

  • Uncontrolled diabetes, liver, or kidney disease

  • A prolactinoma

  • Recent heart attack or stroke (within 6 months)
