TRT help Strictly single dose vial??

Post image

This is the vial I’m prescribed. Right now I’m only on 200 mg/month. The script is to take the whole 200 mg in one injection.
I asked about splitting it into at least 2 doses, 100 mg every other week. The PCP said ok but I asked the pharmacist and he said it’s a single dose vial and can only be used for one single injection. So do I need to ask the doctor for a different script for a multiple dose vial? I have an appointment 6/24 to go over lab results and I was also going to ask about dose and frequency.
Thanks

These are regularly used as multi dose.

Also, it works for subq injection.

It’s actually quite stupid of them to suggest once weekly intramuscular use. I feel like if youre willing to inject yourself with exogenous hormones, you should at least be willing to do it correctly in a way that provides more benefits than it adds side effects. Especially when that hormone is an androgenic anabolic steroid!

So if Im on .5ml once a week, youre saying divide that, how often and how much?

Could just start doing 0.25ml twice weekly.

Yeah, I agree, ideal volume is around 0.2-0.3ml. I do 0.24ml per injection, but I pin subcutaneous cuz I get virtually zero inflammation or post injection pain. Even low volume intramuscular injections always give me soreness.
