Is testosterone a controlled substance?

Yes. Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance in the United States. That has practical consequences for telehealth: prescribing requires a synchronous consultation — a live video visit — rather than an asynchronous questionnaire, and it is subject to federal rules that have been operating under temporary flexibilities. Refills and quantities are also governed differently from non-controlled medications.
