The only bulk powder that's available to compounders is Urinary HCG (uHCG). This is the same type of HCG that is in Pregnyl and Novarel. Recombinant HCG (rHCG) is only available from Merck Serono as Ovidrel. Since Ovidrel is significantly more expensive than uHCG and was proven through...

PCAB Accreditation and registration with the FDA as an outsourcing facility are indications that the facility is reputable. PCAB Accreditation shows that the pharmacy meets USP 797 standards and registration with the FDA shows that the facility manufactures their medications under similar cGMP...

The reason we go with 5mL vials has to do with the DEA. Since Testosterone is a Schedule III Controlled Substance it can only be dispensed for a maximum 3 month supply at a time. Since most prescribers write "Inject 0.5mL every week" when it comes to Testosterone Cypionate, a 10mL vial would...

Your doctor will have to to indicate that you want your Testosterone Cypionate made in Grapeseed Oil every time they send it, otherwise we'll have to verify with them.

Hey Zooka your doctor probably sent in a prescription for the commercially available form of Testosterone Cypionate. Since our compounded Testosterone Cypionate is different from the commercially available form we need to confirm with your doctor that they are ok with this substitution.

Great minds think alike, Dr Saya ;)

HCG and Sermorelin have similar buffer systems, so it can't hurt to draw both into the same syringe right before you inject. Since there aren't any stability studies of these two drugs combined I don't recommend preloading syringes and storing them in the fridge. Just draw up what you need right...

Lawrence Trissel did a stability study that showed that freeze thaw cycles do not affect the potency of Trimix (Papverine HCl / Phentolamine Mesylate / Alprostadil). The only ingredient in Trimix that is affected over time under refrigerated or room temperature was the Alprostadil. About 8%...

When drawing Testosterone Cypionate a lot of patients ask me whether or not they should draw with a 18G or 21G needle before swapping it with a smaller one (25G 1'') before injecting. Here are the reasons we recommend using a 21G to draw instead of a 18G needle: 1. Fewer Losses of Testosterone...

Dr Justin Saya is correct: "Once reconstituted, the general recommendation is to NOT freeze, however damage to the peptide likely increases proportional to the number of freeze-thaw cycles. In other words, if you are keeping it to only ONE freeze-thaw cycle there should be far less potential...

This is just temporary. We just moved to our new 15,000 sq ft cGMP compliant facility and the California State Board requires an on site inspection by one of their inspectors before we can resume shipping compounded sterile products into their state. Sorry for any convenience this has caused...

See attached.

As long as the HCG isn't for weight loss it can be dispensed inside Louisiana. Hypogonadal hypogonadism is an approved use for HCG.

Like almost all injectable medications you get from a big pharma company we also overfill our injectables to make up for the losses due to priming and administration. Common reasons for running out of an injectable prematurely are: 1. Using large bore (18G-23G) draw needles. 2. Not drawing out...

Hey Bio, you've got the right idea. Since the bore is so small the viscosity difference between sesame and grapeseed won't make a big difference in draw time.
