**Testosterone valerate**, or **testosterone pentanoate**, also known as **androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one 17β-valerate**, is a [synthetic](/source/Synthetic_compound), [steroidal](/source/Steroid) [androgen](/source/Androgen) and an [androgen ester](/source/Androgen_ester) – specifically, the C17β [valerate ester](/source/Valeric_acid#Valerate_salts_and_esters) of [testosterone](/source/Testosterone) – which is used in [veterinary medicine](/source/Veterinary_medicine).[1] It is administered via [intramuscular injection](/source/Intramuscular_injection) and acts as a long-lasting [prodrug](/source/Prodrug) of testosterone.[1] The medication is available as a component of the [veterinary drug](/source/Veterinary_drug) **[Deposterona](/source/Deposterona)**, which is marketed in [Mexico](/source/Mexico) and also contains [testosterone acetate](/source/Testosterone_acetate) and [testosterone undecanoate](/source/Testosterone_undecanoate).[1] Testosterone valerate is a short-to-medium duration ester of testosterone, with an [elimination half-life](/source/Elimination_half-life) of approximately twice that of the short-acting [testosterone propionate](/source/Testosterone_propionate).[1]
