Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Get your Dr. to show you how to do your own shots most of us do this it's the lowest cost way to do TRT. http://spotinjections.com/index3.htm And you don't need to use them big long needles I use a 27g 1ml.x 1/2 " lg. needle and shoot into my thigh. Been doing this for yrs. and my levels are the same as getting the shots at my Dr. in the rear.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi, You might try Androgel in the pump bottle. It is less expensive in volume. I have to use 2 bottles of it each month to keep up my t-level requirement ( no testes). Injections are a pain the ass ( no pun intended) unless you can do it yourself. Just my opinion. From: spark_106 <spark_106@...> Subject: Least Cost Option Date: Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 6:48 PM I have tried injections at the doctor's office every few weeks but the hassle of driving, waiting, and injection was more than I could tolerate. I've been on Androgel now for several years using two 5-gram packets on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with single packets all of the other days. But, it is really expensive -- even with my insurance. Have any of you found a better " least cost " option that I could ask my urologist about ? Thanks. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We agreed that Androgel was big$$ for me. He said a compounding pharmacy could do similar cheaper either in a gel form or a cream. We ended up doing Test Cyp shots that I inject. With my insurance it ends up costing me $25.00 for about five months. ~Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
