Is testosterone a controlled substance, and can it be prescribed through telehealth?

Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance because it has potential for misuse and dependence. It requires a valid prescription and must be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Do not share it, sell it, or use someone else’s supply.

Telehealth access depends on current federal and state requirements, the product, and the service’s prescribing policies. A video visit, in-person evaluation, blood tests, or other steps may be required. A consultation does not guarantee that testosterone will be prescribed or that refills will be approved.

Verra serves patients in all 50 states and DC, but that does not mean every medication is available in every situation. Confirm current testosterone availability and visit requirements with the care team before booking. A licensed physician in your state decides whether treatment is appropriate.

Store testosterone securely, away from children and other people. Follow the pharmacy’s storage and disposal instructions. Request refill guidance early rather than changing your dose to stretch a supply. Report a lost or stolen prescription to your pharmacy and prescriber.
