No, testosterone does not generally need to be refrigerated. In fact, it is a heat-stable steroid hormone that can remain stable at room temperature for both short and long-term storage periods. It is also able to withstand the cold temperatures of a refrigerator; however this may not necessarily be necessary unless specified by a healthcare professional or pharmacy technician.
When purchasing testosterone for personal use, you should always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions closely regarding proper storage techniques as different products may vary in their requirements. Many testosterone products are sold with specific instructions for how to store them properly either at room temperature or below it. If you choose to store your product in the refrigerator, make sure that it is kept away from food items as there could be contamination risks involved with cross-contamination.
Lastly, if you are undergoing testosterone therapy it is important to have frequent follow up visits with your physician so that they can monitor your progress while on treatment. Additionally, regular blood tests help ensure that therapeutic levels of testosterone are maintained throughout therapy and all other prescribed medications are taken appropriately!
