Title: injection time intervals
Post by: RyGuy on July 26, 2011, 12:50:07 AM
how often do you guys do your injections?

i do mine every week. my brother's doctor in australia is having him start with one injection every three weeks and then moving to one injection (of t cypionate, not a capsule or any of that jazz) EVERY THREE MONTHS. as in, four shots a year. i think he's absurd personally.

I don't think that would work. . . '>>

And I inject cypionate weekly.

Every other week. 

Your bro probably needs to either change docs, or get the T and just do his shots at a more normal interval.

he completely trusts his endo and won't question the shots. i told him to stock up on chocolate ice cream and sad movies for the mood swings.

Sounds like nebido plan. Some docs add a weekly shot of cyprionate at first till it builds up in your system. The nebido is a huge chunk of T injected in one sitting (not one injection) and meant to last for months.

some types of testosterone have a really long half life that you cant get in the US because they are not approved by the FDA so its rather reasonable. most people take one shot a week or every two weeks.

Your brother is probably getting Nebido, like said earlier. They get 4-5 shots a year and it is meant to last long. The large amount of testosterone is slowly released into your blood.

Yeah, that's sounds a lot like Nebido which I'm pretty sure they do in Australia (not 100% positive though).

95% sure that they use Nebido in Australia. Wait...got an article...

Many of you may have heard about a "new" long acting form of injectable testosterone that is available in the U.S.A. and the U.K. Known as Nebido in the U.S.A., it has now been approved for use in Australia under the name Reandron. Both Reandron and Nebido are oily injections that contain [x amount] of testosterone undecanoate. These pharmaceuticals are the first preparations that allow the individual to drastically reduce the number of injections to approximately four per year, once testosterone levels are stabilised.
