Hello,
I currently started my T here in Australia for $6 an injection (Government covered), but I'm looking at moving to America in August for the September classes.
My doctor said that I would just need to show her letter to a GP and I could get my scripts that way.
I was wondering how much would T shots be for non-US citizens?
Thank you in advance

Same as it is for citizens. Depending on insurance coverage or self pay and where you choose to get your T from, it could be, or should be about $70 for 6 months. That is assuming you don't have insurance and self inject as most of us do.

Yes, I'm taking the long response injections that gets administered by someone else.
I wouldn't have insurance that would cover that, no.
I would be moving to Portland, Oregon. I'm assuming the prices vary state to state, or are they all the same?

If you are talking about Nebido, I don't think you will be able to get it here.
The state isn't the reason for the price. I get mine from Oregon, but live in Wisconsin.
Aveed, ( same as nebido) has been approved by the FDA although I don't know of anyone here using it at the moment.

Not sure what kind of shots you're taking, but I'm self-injecting depo-testosterone bi-weekly at about $45 for 3 months (6 shots). I am insured, which should at least give you the likely minimum of what your shots might be if you're on depo (which I don't know that you are).
P.S. I live 20 minutes outside of Portland and my endo is in Portland, so hopefully these prices are somewhat helpful?
