SOP-HT-002 | Version 1.0
Schedule III Controlled Substance Protocol
⚠️ DEA SCHEDULE III — Prescriber oversight & controlled substance log required.
Hormone therapy is one of the most scrutinized services in aesthetics — is your practice protected?
Testosterone is a DEA Schedule III controlled substance. Without documented controlled substance logs, storage protocols, and disposal records, your practice is exposed to federal enforcement actions — not just state board issues.
BHRT compounding pharmacies require documented prescriber protocols before filling orders. Without written SOPs, your compounding pharmacy relationships — and your ability to access bioidentical hormones — are at risk.
Hormone therapy lawsuits are rising. Cardiovascular events, hematocrit elevations, and cancer risk disclosures must be documented. Without proper informed consent and monitoring SOPs, a single adverse event can devastate your practice.
Hormone therapy programs require documented prescriber oversight for every patient. State medical boards are increasingly requiring written protocols signed by your medical director — verbal agreements are no longer sufficient.
20-point practice readiness audit. Find your compliance gaps before a state board — or a patient emergency — does.
Yes/No questions across 5 key areas: emergency readiness, clinical documentation, staff training, medical director oversight, and patient records.

SOP-HT-002 | Version 1.0
Schedule III Controlled Substance — DEA Registration & Prescriber Oversight Required
⚠️ DEA SCHEDULE III CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE — Testosterone requires DEA registration, a controlled substance log, secure storage, and physician oversight. Hematocrit must be monitored; dose reductions required at ≥52%.
All patients must complete a baseline hormone panel prior to initiating TRT. Labs must be reviewed and approved by the prescribing physician before any testosterone is dispensed or administered.
Required Baseline Labs & Reference Ranges
| Lab Test | Normal Range | Deficiency / Flag | Action Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Testosterone | 300–1,000 ng/dL | <300 ng/dL | TRT candidate — document symptoms |
| Free Testosterone | 5–21 pg/mL | <5 pg/mL | Correlate with total T & symptoms |
| PSA (Males) | <4.0 ng/mL | ≥4.0 ng/mL | Urology referral before TRT initiation |
| Hematocrit (HCT) | 38.3–48.6% | ≥52% | Hold dose — escalation protocol |
| Estradiol (E2) | 10–40 pg/mL | >40 pg/mL | Consider anastrozole — prescriber review |
| CBC (Complete Blood Count) | See reference | Abnormal | Physician review before initiation |
Initial Dosing Protocol — Testosterone Cypionate (IM/SQ)
This SOP continues with 8 more sections including: Injection Technique (IM vs SQ), Side Effect Management, Hematocrit Escalation Protocol, Patient Education, Monitoring Schedule, DEA Documentation Requirements, and Quick Reference Card.
Every SOP in the Hormone Therapy Kit follows this same level of depth and detail.

SOP-HT-002 | Version 1.0 | Effective: January 2026
Each SOP includes detailed protocols, lab reference tables, checklists, and quick-reference cards — ready to print and implement.
Hormone therapy is one of the fastest-growing and most regulated services in med spas. These protocols help you launch or scale with confidence.
You want to add TRT, BHRT, or pellet therapy to your service menu — but need clinical protocols to train staff, maintain DEA compliance, and stay protected. These SOPs give you the foundation to launch fast and safely.
You're already administering testosterone or BHRT, but you're operating off verbal training or loose guidelines. One DEA inspection or state board inquiry could expose critical gaps. Get compliant before it becomes a problem.
You're overseeing hormone prescribing across multiple locations or providers. Without written protocols, inconsistent dosing and monitoring is inevitable. SOPs standardize care across your entire team — reducing risk and improving outcomes.
Written specifically for controlled substance handling in hormone therapy programs. Not recycled generic templates.
Print them out, train your staff, and you're done. No consultant needed to interpret or customize these protocols.
Created by healthcare compliance professionals who understand hormone therapy regulations, DEA requirements, and prescribing oversight nationwide.
Less than 1 hour of healthcare attorney time. A fraction of what a compliance consultant or DEA attorney charges.
"We launched our TRT program two years ago with no written protocols — just training from our medical director. When the DEA requested our controlled substance logs during a routine inspection, we had nothing. These SOPs saved us from a nightmare. Implemented everything in one afternoon."
"I was overseeing TRT and BHRT across three locations with zero standardization. Different providers were monitoring hematocrit at different intervals. The lab monitoring protocol alone was worth the price — now everyone follows the same schedule and I sleep better at night."
"We added pellet therapy without a written insertion protocol — just hands-on training from a BioTE rep. When our compounding pharmacy asked for documentation, we had nothing. These SOPs gave us everything we needed to satisfy the pharmacy and protect ourselves clinically."
"The informed consent SOP alone is worth the price. We had patients signing generic consent forms with no cancer risk or cardiovascular risk documentation. After a patient lawsuit scare, we knew we needed proper documentation. These protocols completely overhauled our consent process."
The difference between reactive chaos and proactive compliance
If these protocols don't save you time, reduce compliance risk, or improve your hormone program operations within 30 days, we'll refund every penny. No questions asked.
We've never had a single refund request. These SOPs work.
Most hormone clinics don't create written protocols until after a DEA audit, a patient lawsuit, or a state board inquiry. By then, the damage is done. One inspection with no controlled substance log can result in DEA registration revocation — ending your ability to prescribe testosterone entirely.
Get ahead of the problem. Implement these SOPs today.
