A Quebec drug manufacturer's announcement that it will cut production of certain drugs means trans men may face new challenges in getting their hands on injectable testosterone.

Sandoz Canada said Feb 19 it was indefinitely suspending production of injectable medicines.

Xtra reported in December last year that there was a manufacturing delay, the second such delay in 2011.
