Can I inject smaller doses of testosterone medications?
It depends on the vial. When using testosterone replacement therapies such as Enanthate, Sustanon, and Nebido, the type of vial they are supplied in can affect how they are administered. Typically, these medications come in two types of vials: glass vials with snap caps and rubber-topped vials.
- Rubber-Topped Vials: If the medication is supplied in rubber-topped vials, it allows for the medication to be used in smaller quantities. This means that instead of using the entire contents of the vial at once, you can administer just half of the Sustanon or a smaller amount of Nebido each week. This method of partial use can be particularly useful in managing more stable blood levels of the hormone and can also be more convenient for ongoing treatment.
- Glass Vials with Snap Caps: In contrast, glass vials with snap caps are generally intended for single use. Once opened, the sterility of the medication can be compromised if not used in one go. Therefore, if you're using these types of vials, it's usually necessary to administer the full dose as prescribed at each interval, corresponding to the total amount of medication in the vial. Using single-use glass vials with snap caps leads to unnecessary waste if the full medication isn't used at the time of administration, leading to both financial costs and increased environmental impact.
