Buying test locally with a prescription

I was told there are new regulations out that limit how long a vial should be used after first needle access to reduce the likelihood of contamination. I heard 1 month is the limit. It may also be they don't want to dispense more than amount prescribed per time period. Rules, rules, rules. People love to make rules. I ran into the same thing at CVS. CVS, as far as I can tell, is often are out of drugs, are understaffed, and not so friendly. I have better luck at Walgreens. Maybe just a local thing.

CVS gave me Vitamin B12 in a bottle marked testosterone, had to take it back after I figured it out after 2 injections. Got them on video doing it also. Its in a different thread I started.

Thanks for the explanation on the 1ml vials. Glad my dr lets me self inject.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
