Guest guest Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Well that sheds some light on things. I would have preferred the 10ml vial but I can deal with the small vials. I guess I am lucky to be restocked for a while.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I used to get my Test Cyp from CVS made by Sandoz and it is on back order with them so this time I got it from a local pharmacy and its made by . But its $90.00 which is expensive compared to my $10 copay. And if my insurance doesnt pay for this when it is medically necessary, and doesnt pay for HCG, arimedix what are they going to pay for I dont understand.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I am told by MedCo that I can't get a 10 ml. vial of muti dose Test C anymore my heath care plain will not give it out in 10 mls anymore some crap about abuse. So all I can get is 1 ml. vials and 10 will not cut it you can't get it all out. I do a .4 ml shot every 3 days and I a very hard time getting 2 shots out of it. So I told them this and they told me the 1 ml. vials are for one shot use so they called my Dr. he is so dam sick of this crap he told them to send me 30 vials to last me 90 days this is crap. I have carpal tunnel and it's dam hard for me to get the oil out of the vial. One guy told me get a bigger longer needle he can get it all out then pull the plunger out of my 29g x 1/2 needle and put the amount I need in it this way. I don't think I should have to go through all this crap to do a Test C shot.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Yeah they are pretty small vials, it would be difficult if you have trouble with your hands. I am doing .4cc every 4 days now and hoping i could get the full 2 1/2 shots out of a vial.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Let me know how it goes I am trying to 2 .4ml shots out of it my Son In Law is makeing me a holder for the small vial to fit in so I can hold it better. My needle is 1/2 " lg. and If I can hold it better I can pull back on the needle and with luck get 2 shots out of it.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I filled my prescription for testosterone cypionate on June 1, 2010. It is a 10 ml vial. My doctor adjusted the dose so the 10 ml. is a three month's supply. Obviouslly my dose is lower than yours is, Phil. Hopefully, I won't run into a problem when I refill it later this month. The month before this last refill, the pharmacy filled the prescription with 1 ml single dose vials because my insurance provider would not allow me to refill the original 10 ml vial. Those 1 ml vials are a total pain to use. Recently, I purchased some 18 gauge needles which I use to fill the syringe. Then I unscrew that needle and screw on a 23 gauge needle to inject with because they are less painful to stick myself with. I don't have a problem with carpal tunnel so this doesn't seem difficult for me to do. Still, I hope the 10 ml vials are still avaiable in a few weeks when I refill my prescription.
