RE: Re: Possible bad batch of T

[Guest guest]

I haven't had any reaction to shots, but I notice that Costco could not fill my

prescription and referred to me to the local supermarket's pharmacy. I had to

wait a week or more and when I got the item, it was 4 separate vials of 200cc's

each. So something is happening up the line in some manufacturing faciltiy.

Maybe there was a recall that caused a shortage. Hmmm.

administering shots nothing like this has ever occurred.

There is a sortage of Testosterone shots.

And it has been a dam long time that I have gotten a 10 ml. vial now all I can

get is 1ml vials. It's a shame because you can't get more then 2 shots out of a

1ml. vial.

I am told by my drug care plain no more 10ml. vials they only carry 1ml. vials I

get a 90 day supply with my plain. But sending me ten 1ml. vials does last me

90 days because you can't get all the T out of this small vial so my Dr. fixed

it so I get 30 1ml. vials for 90 days. I am now doing a .5ml shot every 3 days

I can't get the last .5mls out of the vial so I only do one shot per vial and

pitch the rest what a waste.

I would have to save the next shot in the pen Dr. says this is not safe to keep

T in a needle until you use it. I know guys that do this and say they never had

a problem but I don't care to try this.

Hi Phil,

Why couldn't you use up the remainder of one vial and then top it off from a

new vial? Hope your fealing better. Brett

Sorry to read. I was taking shots now I decided to go back on the gal.

Apparently, it was a hassle going back and forth with my plan and the pharm

store given injections need prior authorization. With gel, no approval is

needed.

Hey, I didn't see my prior posts....

When I asked my Dr. about doing this he told me not to he said once you take it

out of the Vial it can become contaminated and told me not to do this. I do

know of men that use T that comes in amps and they would store it in needles.

One of the guys got a bad infection from doing this don't know if he did

something wrong or it was the T being in the needle.

I can't see how it would be any different than using the same multi-use vial

over and over again as long as your using a clean needle. When you fill the

needle from the multi dose vial your injecting some back in to the vial

again when you tap the bubbles out. Seems like the same thing to me.

I know when I worked in testing lab was an Engineer Auto things could get

contaminated very easy. I think your right it's just my Dr. covering his self

by answering my question that way.
