Re: Testosterone Shots vs Cream

[Guest guest]

Joe the cream would work much better then doing 100 mgs every 2 weeks this is

dam old good Dr. up on TRT don't do shots every 2 weeks. If you can't do a shot

100 mgs every week go with the cream. Why pay for something this does not work.

You will be on a roller coaster ride doing 100 mgs every 2 weeks up after the

shot only to fall to low by the next one. It's when T levels fall to low we

feel like crap.

Yeah... the only shot which lasts for two weeks is Nebido, which is not

available in the US.

If you are curious, just go to the drug company web site, and they give all

kinds of information, such as what the drug's half life is, and how long it

stays in your system, on average.

Here is a quote from the Pfizer site, the maker of Depo-testosterone:

" About 90 percent of a dose of testosterone is excreted in the urine as

glucuronic and

sulfuric acid conjugates of testosterone and its metabolites; about 6

percent of a

dose is excreted in the feces, mostly in the unconjugated form. Inactivation

of testosterone

occurs primarily in the liver. Testosterone is metabolized to various

17-keto steroids

through two different pathways.

The half-life of testosterone cypionate when injected intramuscularly

is approximately

eight days. "

So, at 14 days, you would be and nearly two half lives of the testosterone,

or about 25% of where you would be shortly after your injection. That could

be quite a roller coaster ride.

Yo may be right but personally I have yet to notice any difference from the day

I take the shot to the next day. Maybe it's there and I just don't notice it.

I should probably try a month's worth of the cream just to see how it makes me

feel. If it helps a lot I'll definitely want to continue with it. Thanks for

replying.

Compounded creams can be adjusted to higher %'s of Testosterone so you can go up

to 10 % and the do more this is what I was on until the patch came out and my

BCBS would not pay for the cream anymore.

Actually there was a time when I noticed improvement from a T shot, and that was

when I quit T for about 2 months. I got so I couldn't sleep good at all and was

getting kind of depressed. I felt a lot better after that shot.

The Rx I have says Testosterone in oil 25 mg / 4 drops. 4 drops BID. #1 month

supply. Refill x 6. Sub allowed.
